It is hard to believe that this wine is not only 100 years of age, but the product of a less than average. Yet, the proof is in the bottle, and this bottle rocked! The red fruits had life, perfectly blending in with the patina of age that brings tobacco leaf, wet forest, cedar, lead pencil, smoke and earthy nuances. The earthy finish served with bright, crisp, red fruits, herbs and tobacco.

(Magnum) Klar, dyp rød med innslag av oransje. Mildt parfymert nese med mørke, røde bær, forførende sødme, fioler, tobakk, lær og lett vanilje. Fast, intens og ubegripelig vital frukt for alderen. Saftig og syrefrisk med tørre, finstemte og spenstige tanniner i utgang. Utrolig lengde. Trengte tid i vid karaffel for å komme frem.

From magnum. Minerals, earth and blood. Decent length, fresh, even with some tannin. Mere structure left.

Dark garnet. Did not seem 90 years old. Educational.
