Nice summerberries and lavender announce this elegant wine. Oak and a little bit of pepper too. Full bodied and powerful, but never loosing its elegance, and somehow light on its feet. Good finish with nuances of cinnamon. Very good! In its prime. No decant but opened up 1hr before. Did improve a little with time. 96p.

Opulent, fascinating „out of this world“ fragrants. Reminiscent of summerberries with lots of violets and lavender, as well as strawberries and mocha-plums. Nice density and a good finish with integrated tannins and a subtile hint of acidity. For this vintage just phenomenal! My first george iii. Decanted for 30min then back to bottle. Looks like best in a year or two and will last for another 5-10. 96-97p.

Wonderful nose. Sweet Blueberries in Oak, sweet tabacco. Full bodied, good density. Mocha and plums come along. A touch of violets and lavender. Good and lenghty finish with creamy tannins, silky and noble. Powerful. High class napa! Prime drinking window, short decant helpful. Opened 30min before dinner and consumed over 3hrs. Good life ahead.
96p.
