  Just great wine. Licorice, mocha, vanilla and black fruits. Wine is smooth and balanced with integrated, polished tannins and long long finish. Maybe turning to the end of window

  Robe bourgogne ambrée. Nez charmeur, en bouche, arômes beurre, vanille et boisé. Rond, tannin souple et assez sec. Décanté 30min dans le verre. À mon gout, la barrique est trop présente. Un grand vin, mais peut-être plus dans ma palette.

  Decant and tasted soon after. Cedar and spice nose. Quiet tannins. Fruit has mellowed. Silky, smooth palate and a long finish.

  A very special Rioja (18 years old). Aeration and decanted and rested for 3 hours. Very dry (but smooth) upfront, but then the fruit came out and it was delicious. Enjoyed with beef and vegetables.
