The 2001 Vendimia Seleccionada is equal to a Bordeaux first growth in quality. A massive, opulent red of tremendous power as well as great elegance and nuance, it boasts an inky/purple color along with a stunning perfume of blackberries, cassis, licorice, sweet oak, smoke, and espresso. While it reveals plenty of new oak, the fruit as well as potential complexity are impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020+.
