January 7, 2017 - Short decant before first glass. Nose is absolutely amazing. Bursting with dark fruits and really aramatic balsamic vinegar smells like a fine perfume. It still extremely dark and it just coats the entire glass as I swirl it. Wow. Still very primary at 10 years old but this is one fantastic wine that will develop into something very very special. It feel like thick paint in the mouth completely coating every pour. Tar, iron and blood orange peal, maybe some earth. Really interesting bit of sweetness on the finish. Still extremly tanic but not totally undrinkable. This is the first i've tried out of my case and I'm glad for the remaining 11. I would hold for a minimum of 5 more years, matbe 7-10. It has got me curious about the '04 & '06 of his which I havent even dared to look at. 95 today with upside.

The 06s, coming from a very classic/cool vintage, do. show high acidity and sharp tannins which need still years to come together. Cheers, Edgar
