Rated this a 93 four years ago, and at that time I would say that was a very solid and correct rating. Four years later, this one has started to lose a little bit of ground. Not quite as verbose and youthful, starting to show a lot of tart but still quite juicy fruit, tart underripe raspberry and plum, raisin oatmeal cookie. Finishes dirty...earth / soil. Still seems like this is tannic, but perhaps it's just the tannin dropping out! I think this 11 won't hold nearly as long as the 08, but at rhis time this one drinks the best vs the 04 and 08. — 7 years ago

MUCH BETTER than the 2010 Palette. the palette was pretty much gone but this wine is still kicking. On the nose, blackberry, dirty black fruit and mulberry notes abound. The entry is more of a bramblier fruit. A little dusty. Acidity had pretty much resolved on entry, and this one really was showing a lot of rounded dusty and somewhat dried fruits. The middle includes almost sort of an almond dryness. Finish is a little bit short, a very tiny bit tart. I'd say that this is probably one of the better non 'El Guapo' wines that Alamosa made, and this one probably could go another 1-2 years. — 8 years ago
