bottled drunk over 3 days in different glasses. the nose is powerful, mainly dark fruits, spices, a bit of tobacco. in Zalto Bordeaux glass, the nose shows important notes of wood, less perceptible in Riedel universal. the palate is medium +, muscular but tanins are tamed. good freshness and length. with the Zalto glass, the finish is bit drying, with noticeable touch of wood (too much for my taste). with the Riddle glass the finish is rounder and the wood notes less perceptible. overall, the wine is surprisingly young and has la lot left in the tank.

fully mature now. Nicely balanced dark cherries, some hints of age on the nose.
Slowly finish up any remaining bottles.

Still youthful and with time ahead of it. Tannin might outweigh the fruit. Not complex but well-made, enjoyable after a two-hour decant.

after a two hour decant:
Inviting nose, indicating a sweet wine.
Mouth of sweet cherries, with some acidity remaining, some alcoholic heat. Not overly complex but long lasting.
Does not evolve to 92-93 as I thought three years ago, but that relates more to my preferences shifting to less powerful wines with lower alcohol.

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.

Apologies for volatile ratings, but today this bottle delivered. Clearly fruit-driven but not in an obstrusive way. Carmenere, at only seven per cent, danced on the shoulders of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, leaving some room for the dash of petit Verdot added. 15 per cent alcohol is not for the meek - and normally not Harrie’s style - but here it adds to the shoulders of fruit.

Mature now, but not tired in any way. Not sure it will get better but no hurry to drink either. This will go another three or more years.

A great wine for those liking Amarone and similar Veneto wines. Mrs Harrie loves this.

Color: inky deep garnet - almost opaque
Noe: plum, flower, stones
Taste: plum, cigar box, cedar and anise
This is smooth and silky with plenty of fruit left and still primary - plum, black cherry, cigar box, wet stones and a floral finish. Tannins are smooth and round and hang in for a short while.

Encore puissant et corsé.
Poivrons, mures et tabac. Beuucoup de mâche et de matière.
Tanins asséchants et finale longue et boisé.
Un peu too much pour moi.

This was the last of my half dozen and sadly it was corked. The previous bottles were all beautiful. This is the luck of the cork.

Tasted blind. Heavy on animal flavours, wet dog (not in a bad way), ripe fruit ,some menthol. Mouthcoating tannings. Full body but balance is not ideal and lacking a bit acidity to scale back the other levers.

Coeur de fruits noirs. On a un côté vert, herbeux, médicinal, mais fort agréable. Lui reste encore de l'alcool à digérer. Je dirais de boire en 2021.

In a very pretty spot right now; vertical, cool, still lots of primary fruit, but the oak is fully integrated, and the wine is pure classic harmon, very Bordeax-like with lotts of dark berries, som bell pepper, good acidity. Drinking well, but will keep

NY Eve tasting of 6 wines: Rather vegetal...petrol, undergrowth, dark cherry, spices...complex nose. Velvety smooth...ripe fruit and spices. Well integrated tannins and perfect harmony. Warm and very long finish. Beautiful right now...delicious! Average score from six tasters: 92
