  From magnum and opened about 1.5hrs before tasting.
  
  Vibrant deep red/purple color; voluptuous nose with dark fruit, plum, saddle leather; full bodied with plenty on tannins and acid along with flavors of dark fruit, plum, soot/smoke. Not the longest finish but adequate complexity. Overall, a wine that balances between old world and new world.

  Buried in the cellar. Found it and opened.
  The cork was dry and crumbled. That said the wine was very enjoyable.

  Nice blackberry nose with a hint of cedar. Tannins are gone so 🍷 is quite acidic. Tart short finish.

  After fourteen years a mature bottle and in a full swing mode.
  A beautiful crimson colour with a dark core, on the nose shows those rich, almost sweet notes of blackberry, carob and forest floor. Wood is present in cigar box aroma but well integrated.
  On the palate it is a medium-bodied wine, with a silky texture and a not very generous length. Ultra-dry final.
  Cru Classée quality.
  
  Después de catorce años una botella madura y en pleno apogeo.
  De un bello color carmesí con un centro oscuro, en nariz manifiesta esas ricas notas, casi dulces, de las moras negras, de algarroba y de suelo del bosque. La madera está presente en firma de caja de puros pero bien integrada.
  Al paladar se presenta como un vino de cuerpo medio, con textura sedosa y una no generosa longitud. Final secante.
  Calidad de Cru Classée.
