Inés Vizcarra 2019

Even the 2019 Inés seemed to play dangerously with over-ripeness, with aromas of prunes and raisins coupled with some earthiness and a volatile and heady whiff, perhaps because of the nearly 15% alcohol. It's full-bodied, voluptuous and quite tannic after spending 18 months in 400-liter barrels (90% French, 10% American) and a further four months in an oval 2,000-liter oak foudre. Too ripe and too oaky. I don't think time solves that.
