Robust and rather rustic, but none the less enjoyable. Gamey, dark and truffeley, traditional and with a structured, tannic finish. Needs food. vg
Intense, youthful, long and delicious. Firm, dark fruits. It has years ahead of it. dg
Slightly cloudy? Nevermind. This is succulent, savoury and lovely. Intense and powerful and still quite primary. Long finish. dg
Dark, masculine and tannic. Rich, full bodied and chewy. This is an immaculate wine, still apparantly in its early youth. dg+
Straightforward fun, hedonistic and evolved. Rustic, as someone described it, "a hippy wine"? A pleasure to drink, none the less. vg
Age has not touched it. Rich and powerful. dg
