Should have paid more attention to my own note. Fuller, richer, more acidic, more tannic, much more powerful and backward than I remember. Still rather mute on the nose, all the excitement happens on the palate and off into the finish. Rather stiff and linear at the moment though not without pleasure. Lots of red fruits, bitter cherry and redcurrant. Assuming a good bottle, another 3-5 years easy.

Faint nose. Sour cherries on the palate. Quite a long and tannic finish. Seems lacking something at first but opens out after an hour or so. The longer it is open the better it gets, though no real complexity develops. This strikes me as a real proper wine that is only starting to wake up for business. Come back in 3-5 years.

Still backward, slightly four-square and linear. Certainly won't fall apart. May well gain something with more time, though I enjoyed it all the same.

Animalic and mineral aromas on the nose. Quite acidic with a bit perfumy and mineral flavors on the palate.
