May 20, 2023 - From magnum. Bought this bottle when I was 20 years old and just started my life-long exploration of the wine world. Then I had a vision that I would keep this bottle until I turned 35 and would drink it with the friends I love. Now was the time for it.
Pnp. Notes of pomegranate, raisins, lavendel, bacon and stone dust on the mature, smooth nose.
Mature and lean on the palate. Despite the high alcohol it never felt heady. Long, elegant taste. Good level of fruit with lots of minerality. Suprisingly good drinking window and could be be kept for some more years. -

December 22, 2020 - Very much better than the last bottle. Tannins were mature. Fruit was balanced with the tannins. Excellent.
