Some rather appealing graphite on the nose

This too could use better depth but Virondot seemingly always ages extremely well

The 2010 Château Margaux performed far better at this horizontal than at Farr's blind tasting a few days later

This vintage has maintained that sense of youthfulness and overall accessibility

I clearly preferred the 2016 by a long margin

Finca Allende, Gaminde Vintage:2015 Some rather appealing graphite onThe nose of the 2016 Gaminde is creamy, balsamic and spicy, with plenty of new oak undertones and ripe fruit without excess. This is a clean, modern, generously oaked Tempranillo, with plenty of tannins and oak related flavors, and it needs a couple of years in bottle to digest the wood. It's nicely structured and shows power with balance in its style. 12,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2018.
