  Excellent. Mature but still energetic. Complex and long.

  开瓶即饮，淡宝石红色，闻香有一些挥发性酸，月季花和玫瑰花的香气，李子的果香，一些焦油和烟熏味，入口酸度高，单宁细腻，酒液很咸，矿物感清晰，口中香气不明显，需要醒酒。瓶醒两小时，入口是李子的果香，月季和玫瑰花香气，辛香料感，香气很冲，有些呛口，刺激感，后段回甘，余味红果和香草奶油，玫瑰花香，口中长留，巴罗洛漂亮的香气开始展现。回塞十个小时，香气浓郁，李子和樱桃的果香，玫瑰和紫罗兰的花香，淡淡肉味，泥土气息，橡木桶的烘烤和一些甜香料味，入口酸度高，酒液咸鲜，收口微甜，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻，法桶影响很明显，红酸果香，紫罗兰香气，明显的烤面包和可可的香味，后段辛辣，焦油的气息，有轻微酒精感，余味是草莓和香草奶油，香气持久。透过明显的法桶味能感受到内比奥罗强壮的一面。第二天再喝，酒的表现变得平和很多，一下退去了前一天的火气，法桶的影响在减弱，内比奥罗也不再那么张牙舞爪，二者终于融合得更好了，咸鲜甜美的酒液是李子、山楂、玫瑰花香混合着香草奶油，酒仿佛又达到了一个新的平衡。

  (Blind tasting)
  Medium-fullish nose. Very mature. Slightly oxidized. Dried cherry, walnuts and Oloroso-like burnt sugar notes.
  Fullish, still tannic. But very mature aromas. Leather, nuts, dark chocolate. Almost over the hill. Makes an old-school impression. But that could be due to the cellaring, which this particular bottle had not lived through. Other bottles could be better.

  Sampled from a pristinely-cellared bottle that had been double-decanted and allowed significant time to aerate, this deep garnet wine is clearly in its "sweet spot." With up-front floral notes of lavender, it delivers a package of red currants, bitter plums, dried herbs, tobacco and exotic spices. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14%) and with nicely integrated oak, it flexes a bit of tannic grip on the mid-palate and lengthy finish. At this point the wine's fruit/tannin/acid components are all in harmony. For well-cellared bottles, this should remain the case over the next five years. Drink now-2025.
