Last bottle bought in Barcelona some years ago - on opening a little bottle stink and a liquorice note on the finish. Bottlestink soon blew away . Brick red in colour , lovely cherry and resolved wood bouquet , long finish mellow and a point - very good indeed

Ripe aging red to black fruit with hints of vanilla from oak. Some chewy tobacco notes and tannin, though subtle. Balanced by mellow lemon acidity. Opened up with time in glass to black cherry. Loads of length and lingers on tongue. Delightful wine at its peak.

starting to show its age. Still has a nice length to the finish, but the fruit is fading. A very nice bottle for the price and if you find it on a list or in store it will be an excellent purchase for the price...just don't hold it too long.

Still drinkining well with good reserves of fruit, if a little less intense than when first tasted. No hurry to drink remaining bottles, but seems unlikely to improve.

Nice scorched earth component, dark dense fruit, intense spice, and pleasant violet tones. Seems promising but a little flat and perhaps tired from 10 years in a warm retail environment. NR
