What a nice surprise! The cork was safely removed with the Durand due to complete soaked cork all the way through, and a clear mature claret was poured, with fantastic nose and round fully integrated fruit.. Aged with grace, drink up..

Young and powerful, is the first that comes to mind! Next is the long finish, nearly a minute, and the rounded tannins which grips firmly. Purple to black in colour, charming oak mixed with berries. Decanted 30 min, and evolving nicely.. This Will be even more beautiful in 2 hours. Save if you have some, and drink 2018-2035.. Nice!

No doubt that this is very young at this moment, deep red, almost violet in color. Massive nose with fresh fruit, blackberries and mature cherries. Decanted 2 hours prior to tasting, first impression is almonds and Dark fruit, Nice accid and tannic grip in the mouth. This is made for cellaring, and Will improve the next 10 years or more. Drink 2020-2035. Buy if you get the chance!!!
