  Cork broke but saved without any debris. Could smell the wine immediately. Dark fruit, plum, mushroom and slight floral tones.
  Plate first taste without a decant solid, second sip, wow. Long finish well balanced flavors. High acid but not off putting. Blackberry, blueberry, plum still.

  Magnum size. Opaque red center. Stewed cassis, blackberry, liquorice, vanilla, and spices. Well balanced and noticeable tertiary integration. Rich bodied with soft, coarse tannin and medium-high acidity. Lacking in finesse.

  Wonderful Bordeaux type expressions of noble wood, perfectly matured black berries, cherries, liquorice, toast aromas, chocolate, plum, menthol. Ample, complex, well structured and just entering its drinking age. No hurry, but you won't regret opening now.

  Decanted 2 hours. Aromatic nose of dark fruit and violet. On the palate more black fruit, cassis and cherry. A little mocha, some pepper and sweet tannins. Rich but not jammy. Medium + body, enough acidity for freshness. Still young, but giving pleasure in its early window.

  Only some baked sesame and blackberry, sweet red date on the nose. Tons of braised green leaves, dust and animal scents on the palate. Disgusting. 99% Flawed, may be heated.
