Delicious wine. Fine colour, hasn’t lost the youthfull deep dark red hue. Smooth with good acid and still has powerfull chewy tannins that has mellowed perfectly with age. Aromas of leather, wood, smoke, dark berries and a hint of mocca. Aftertaste with a slight acidic bite and a miniscule amount of bitterness. A slight mouth warming sensation reveal the heat of high alcohol content, but that goes well to cleanse the mouth of the fat on a good steak. No decant is necessary at this time of it’s life. It has probably reached past the middle of it optimum drinking window, but still has a couple of good years left.

Still going strong, with the very special acidity that cling to it during the first hour. After some more oxygen it softens up and the fatness comes into play. Long aging potential and beautiful craftsmanship.

Very dark color with a good balance. Definitely suitable for consumption with food but not too heavy. Very enjoyable - might develop over the next years but is pleasant now.

Need 1-2 hours to breathe, but then it opens up as a nice and warm wine. Beautiful dark rubi color. Well balanced level of taste and tanin. A strong medium-length finish.

Terrific wine - very powerful. Hints of vanilla, berries, chocolate - even some gun powder? Would definitely buy again.
