Popped and poured. This bottle has been lying around in the cellar for some years. Very tasty at this point in time, with a few minutes of air, there are sweet notes of cherry and licorice, and a hint of leather. Starting to have an aged feel to it. The palate is mellow, definitely age here, cherry, some tannins, very good. This is at it's absolute peak now I think, very good, very tasty.

Popped and poured, allowed to open up in the glass for about 20 min. A nice dark red to the rim. The nose is ever so fine, with violets and red cherries, a slight hint of orange peels and licorice. On the palate we have more of the same, very delicious with nice smooth tannins. Mmm, wow, this is really good, should have loaded up on it! Still one bottle in the cellar, I should leave it for another year to see what happens. 50+5+11+16+8=90

Solid performer. Leather and stables. A rustic full bodied wine with an outstanding quality- to- price ratio.
