  January 21, 2022 - Third of six. Here we go again, estimated Schlaepdog. Time is running and eight years on since I opened the first one. Quite solid purple colour. In this particular ocassion the nose showed direct and linear with notes of iron ore, blackberries, dry wood and mineral of anthracite. Basically repetitive, steady, continued. Let's talk about performance on the palate. Monolithic. Couldn't find those soft tannins anywhere. Seriously firm yet bored at the second sip. Once again much better with hearty food. Acid as usual. Long and slightly tannic finish. Couldn't find its supposed charm either.
  Sorry Elisabetta if I am not really enthusiastic with this wine ... still :-) Good value? I agree that at 21€ ten years ago, it is not an expensive wine. C'est tout. Considering nowadays this wine cost around 60€, trading it's a good option IMHO. Vulgarity 'in excelsis' as the score reflects.
  
  Tercera de seis. Y aquí vamos de nuevo, estimado Schlaepdog. El tiempo va corriendo y ya han pasado ocho años desde que abrí la primera. De un sólido color púrpura. Esta vez en nariz se mostró directa y lineal con notas de mineral de hierro, moras, madera seca y mineral de antracita. Básicamente repetitivo, constante, continuo. Hablemos de la actuación en el paladar. Monolítico. No pude encontrar esos taninos suaves por ningún lado. Seriamente firme pero aburrido al segundo sorbo. Una vez más mucho mejor con comida contundente. Ácido como de costumbre. Largo y ligeramente tánico al terminar. Tampoco pude encontrar su supuesto encanto.
  Lo siento Elisabetta si no estoy realmente entusiasmado con este vino ... todavía :-) Buena relación calidad-precio? Estoy de acuerdo en que hace diez años y por 21€, no es un vino caro. Eso es todo. Teniendo en cuenta que hoy en día este vino cuesta alrededor de 60€, venderlo es una buena opción, en mi modesta opinión. Vulgaridad "in excelsis" como su puntuación refleja.

  November 27, 2019 - Lots of life left here as this wine was vigorous and youthful. Lip-smacking vibrant red/black fruits with a nice mineral laden fruit finish along with a slight saline note. Lingers so nicely on the tongue with notable, but not obtrusive tannin.
  
  Just hitting its stride, this wine will easily go another 5 years before fading and possibly another 10 years. Fantastic QPR at $20 US dollars.
