It's a blend of old vines from three parcels

spice and an interesting whiff of orange peel

The supple and delicious middle weight flavors that possess a moderately refined mouthfeel while delivering very good persistence as well as a light minerality

medium-bodied flavors possess much more volume on the much more complex and persistent finish

pure and relatively hightoned nose of elegant red currant

Achaval Ferrer, Finca Altamira Vintage:2013 It's a blend of oldDeep ruby. Subdued black fruits, minerals and mocha on the nose. Broad, plush and very ripe but not overly sweet, offering highly complex flavors of candied fruit and exotic dried flowers. As sexy as this is today, it's also quite backward and in need of bottle aging. Both this wine and the Mirador bottling are from vines more than 40 years of age, and both should evolve positively over the next decade or more. Stephen Tanzer
