  In a wonderful place right now: a ripe, round, fully developed red wine. Charming. Deep red color, cherry nose. Complex bouquet, red fruit, red berries, cherries. Wonderful balance, wonderful ripeness, wonderful elegance. Not overly powerful, elegant finish. Will hold for more years.
  Even better on day 2.

  A beautiful wine! Medium bodied. Cherries on the nose. Perfect acidity! Long finish. Delicious! No bricking at all. This will last at least another 10 years. Wow!

  Absolutely singing at the moment. Beautiful ruby colour belies its age. Lovely mineral graphite and chalky notes, together with sweet cherry, dark licorice core and earthy, savoury notes developing with time in the decanter. Growing more tertiary after a couple of hours in the decanter, with more leather and undergrowth notes. Soft, completely integrated tannins, medium acidity. I have no doubt this will hold, but also perfect to drink now.

  Clear cherry colour. Nose: oak, glosspiant; very robust but vulgar. Taste: very warm and round; some prunes,. Solid, nothing more.
