Tasting notes
The 2002 Vendimia Seleccionada, from a less exciting vintage, is nonetheless a superior effort. It is black purple in color with expressive aromatics and layers of blue and black fruits. However, it is more forward than its less expensive sibling as well as less opulent. Give it 3-4 years in the cellar and drink it over the following 6-8 years.

Deep ruby. Sexy nose combines oak spices, blackberry, cassis, cured tobacco and smoky meat aromas, plus a hint of iron. Lush and powerful, with a chewy, dense texture, good weight and powerful, open-knit dark berry flavors framed by smooth, pliant tannins. The sweet dark fruit flavors linger impressively on the finish. Really pretty, elegant wine, and tasting very good right now.
