Aalto - PS (Pagos Seleccionados)
Give it some time in glass or soft decant and it will pay. Complex, structured, mouthwatering, in where tipe berries fruit like blueberry, raspberry simpply dominates along with some plum, blackcurrant and toasty vanilla oak. Could improve a little more pon 2010.

Arzuaga - Reserva
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!

Phelps, Joseph - Insignia
As before tastings, it is all finesse, stills youthful and have exquisite fruit-perfume arome. Nice finish and smooth tannins, little short on body and flavor complexity or depth.
