Ruby to garnet in thin layers. Nice intensity with red and black currants, blackberries, vanilla. A bit lacking nuances, complexity. On the palate for its age and pedigree still quite tannic. Difficult to tell if this is going to loose too much of its intensity and nice fruit, before it gets more nuances and becomes smooth. 5/12/16/8+. 91 points and it seems almost too much for me. A real step down to the Pesqueras of the 90s at this age, I guess. -2028+?

Bu en parallèle avec le 2019. En très grande forme. Tanins assouplis, mais pas si facile à l'aveugle de reconnaître les 10 ans de plus... Délice, à garder encore plusieurs années, mais approchable.

PnP. Dark garnet red, yellow rim, 5.5. Wonderful mature complex bouquet, loads of ripe dark fruits as well as dried fruits, barnyard and more. Well balanced palate, mT, mA, m+B, deep dark fruit, good structure, long finish. Drink now-2026

This is still early in its evolution. Elegance is achieved only after days open.
