I remember tasting form the same winery and reserva row 08 vintage in in April 2014. This vintage (11) is rather different, it seems to me it was from cooler vintage due to paler color and less dense profile in the taste. I just bought one bottle to taste whether I should buy more to my cellar for ageing and I will not do that as I am afraid the wine does not have the desirable qualities for improvement despite having higher acidity and higher (slightly harsh) tannins. Drinking it at the same time with Trapiche 08 this is clear outsider.
