Not youthful, but a serious sophisticated wine in the prime of its life. Earthly, tobacco-driven complexity. Dark fruits and rose petal potpourri. Don't expect improvement, but don't hesitate to open a bottle.

Mild nose with cherry and plum dominated taste on the palate. There is also a slight note of black chocolate blended in fairly high acidity. But the general balance is good and the tannin is very fine and sweet. Did not feel like a 30 year old bottle - judging by the progression of wine in the cork and amazingly high fill level in the bottle, maybe it was not laid down all the time in the cellar. But drink now, as I do not see any further aging potential.
