Wow, this is improving every year.Good in 2007, very good in 2008 and now great and shall be in the same way for the next 4yrs! Full body, dark purple, dense on palate, exquisite aromas in where high quality vanilla dominates, also the blueberry, plum, nice soft toasty oak. The tannins are at this stage an harminuos of power and finsse, and very long mouthwatering (somehow 'spicy' too) finish of almost 60 seconds. This is an Arzuaga for the history!

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
