Saturday, October 9, 2021 - Magnum. Opened 8 hours in advance. Impressive saturation. Light balsam and spice on the nose. Medium weight with a sensuous, round, seamless feel. Outstanding bright red fruit, a twist of citrus peel, light herb, and chocolatey tannins. Much more classic and less weighty and sweet than something like the 2010 Prado Enea. Here the ripeness is just a whisper in comparison, adding to the whole mix rather than stomping down all of the other elements. Fantastic bottle just reaching its apogee in this larger format.

After being recorked overnight, drier, acidity and pine more to the fore, but still that bitter chocolate richness underneath.
