  felt that this wine has reach its prime, or even passed it, or perhaps I came across a flawed bottle. brickish red with slight brown-grey hints. some soy with cassis, mint and cocoa on nose, while being oaky, spicy and savoury on the palate. not fantastic, but certainly still drinkable

  some golden sheen on rich yellow straw color, honey-lemon nose, and it soothes the palate with light citrus notes, pleasant!

  quite surprising that it tasted rather young despite being a relatively older vintage. plums and cassis on nose, and savoury and fruity

  felt that this aged rather quickly and is ready to drink now. cool nose with peppermint hints. felt more fruit-forward and mellow, yet savoury. quite sure it's at it's prime now
