[Magnum] The bouquet and aromatics are totally gorgeous. Big nose of red cherry and lifted elegant fruit with spice. Flashy and beautiful, clean, de-stemmed. On the palate this is maybe technically a little lean or dry, but it is entirely correct and beautiful. If there were a complaint it might be that the palate drops off a little quickly. So special, clean, pure, precise. The vibrance and energy are unique.

What a great wine this has become, seemingly having developed additional complexity in recent years judging by this example. This bottle was well beyond my expectations. Dark earth and mineral laden nose with some gamey notes. With time, spice, red raspberry and red cherry emerge. A strong mineral and iron foundation to the palate with coal dust, tar and dark cherry notes. Very long finish. Fantastic condition bottle

Classic de-stemmed aromatics. Bright palate. Serious depth here. As good as any Jayer out there.

Better with air time. Started short and interestingly tannic. Better nose than palate, with soil and spice tones. 92-93
