The wine is clear, with deep ruby color, and thick legs.

On the nose the wine is clean, with medium primary aroma intensity of red fruits, herbaceous, fresh mint leaves, peppermint, along with something almost chemical like, which reminds of a toothpaste, and Perchloroethylene (glass cleaning spray).

On the nose the wine is dry, with medium plus acidity, medium tannins, medium plus alcohol, medium body, medium plus primary flavor intensity of ripe red fruits, herbaceous, hints of fresh mint, chewing gum, and toothpaste.

The wine is of an acceptable quality to my opinion. I didn't found anything faulty about it, but the style here is peculiar to me. It is overpowered by the fresh mint component, which not all feels natural.

The wine is clear, with deep purple color, slightly more ruby towards the rims, and thick legs.

On the nose the wine is clean, with medium primary aroma intensity of red fruits, cherries, floral notes, purple flower blossom, and with medium secondary aroma intensity of oak spices, clove, and something that reminds of nail polish (but not from oxidation).

On the palate the wine is dry, with medium plus acidity, medium plus green tannins, medium plus alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus primary flavor intensity of ripe red fruits, plums, cherries, cassis, herbaceous notes, and spices.
Finish is medium plus.

The wine is of a good quality overall, as it is showing good balance between fruit concentration, acidity and minerality towards end palate. It is lacking depth and complexity at this stage I believe.

The wine was slightly closed at time of tasting, although that overall I think it is showing its style and what it can be with couple more years of bottle aging.

The wine is of an acceptable quality overall, as there was nothing really faulty about it, but it was lacking balance, intensity and complexity.

The wine felt a bit tired, with significant age signs, oxidation, and felt as it lost its power in a way. Putting aside the age, and by re-visiting the fresher vintages, seems as this is the style of this wine.
