Praise the lard! Fully mature and ready to go, lovely blue fruit aromas, a hit of sweetness and still some tannin left to gird the fruit. I'm always nervous opening a big old bottle but this was lovely! Lot's of sediment though.

Not sure the fruit will outlive the tannins in this one.

Keeps your hands off for a few more years. Slap slap, bad boy! Really needs more time in the bottle to resolve the tannins.

Very distinctive Vicent Arroyo, moderate sediment. Great food wine. Fruit forward, sweet cherry, some blueberry and a little oak. Well rounded at this point, but could drop some tannin in a little bit. Most Vincent Arroyo wines have very little sediment, this one had a little more than most. Maybe leave it for a few more years.

Good Fruit and the distinctive Arroyo nose. Tannins have softened and made for an elegant PS. Not in a hurry to drink up but do not know if this wine will improve. Enjojed with Braised Buffalo Short Ribs.
