It's been some time since I had such an amazing wine. Lots of sediment on the bottle side. Dark ruby red with orange ring. Open bouquet with extremely ripe and highly developed fruit, yet solid structure and tannin presence to guarantee many more years of development and life in the bottle. Long length and pleasant finish. Worked extremely well with balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil to a complex meat sauce and pasta. Well done!

Intense color with garnet hues. The aroma is complex, elegant, with intense fruit and notes of ripe plums, spice, and hints of herbs, minerality and leather. The flavor is immense, fatty, tannic, but very balanced, with fresh acidity; long fruity and smooth long finish.

Decanted for 40mins to an hour. Intense color with garnet hues. The aroma is complex, elegant, with intense fruit and notes of ripe plums, spice, and hints of herbs and leather. The flavor is immense, fatty, tannic, but balanced, with fresh acidity; long fruity and spicy finish.

Dark fruits and a bit of barnyard on the nose. Firm tannins after a 2-hour decant. Drinking well now, but certainly has ability to age longer. Blueberry and dark cherry, leather, earthiness. Excellent with herbed rack of lamb.

Color: Dark and impenetrable. Nose: Smells dark, too. Black licorice, blackberries, other dark berries. Mouth: Very good expressiveness. A tad too alcoholic. A slight appetizing sourness. A hint of malt in the finish. This wine has evolved nicely. The bitterness has disappeared. Full bodied wine. Can be stored longer.
