My last. Remains impressive with lashings of focussed ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and peppers. Hints of truffle developing and earthiness. Splendid. No rush but probably as good as it gets.

Absolutely outstanding and really typical of its varietal (CF). Smoke, concentrated blackcurrant and wild red berries, liquorice, charred oak and earth with the core acidity to balance the riper fruit element. All in perfect vibrant crackling harmony. Superb. At its peak and for drinking say 15yrs from vintage at this level.

Uvas provenientes de un viñedo de 1888 😲 y partida de solo 3000 botellas.
Crianza de 18 meses en barricas nuevas de roble francés.
Hay que esperarlo para que se abra, pero cuando se abre es una bomba! 💣
Hay mermelada de frutas, especias y pimiento cocido. También notas de reducción típicas en este tu de vinos.
En boca tiene buena estructura, es sedoso, elegante y tiene final largo. Excelente!

Balancen var ikke optimal, med frugt i bund og fad i top. Skæv eller til til at drikke den sidste flaske?
