Still deep dark and almost purple. Earthy and creamy bouquet. Still a lot of sticky tannin. Cassis and liquorice. Round and full bodied. Very firm tannin. The wine is still not giving itself completely. Will never be a wine with great finesse, but being so youthful and harmonious after 17 years is certainly a great accomplishment.
Attractive fruity bouquet with oak and butter. Ok tannin that is soft as well as still a little sticky. Pleasant acidity. Sweet liquorice. Not very full bodied. Can wait for a few more years.

Clear red with a garnet rim. In the bouquet licorice and dark berries and something like wet carton. Corked I suppose.

Very mature and a bit alcoholic bouquet. Hardly any tannin left. Still juicy. A bit of sweetness. A friendly and tasteful wine. Drink NOW!
