Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, En Chamberlin Vineyard, Impulsivo Tempranillo 2008

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate As for the 2008 Impulsivo en Chamberlin, it is a dense purple color with a remarkably complex bouquet of smoke, licorice, tar, violets, exotic spices, blackberry, and black raspberry. Dense, powerful, and mouth-filling, this layered, plush effort has a finish that keeps on going. It is a total turn-on that will continue to provide pleasure for another 12-15 years. (08/11) 95 Points CellarTracker P&P - With some age, the smoke and green olive traits have faded to the back ground with no less of flavor or complexity. In fact, this Impulsivo has a layered complexity within its soooo savory and tasty profile that it was a pure joy last night. I would add that I think this is at peak, and should hold another 5 years but I woundn’tpush it beyond that. 9/26/2021
