Quite different than my bottle 8 months ago. This still has the red crushed berries, stone and mineral rock, cherry notes but overall it is quite brighter red fruit with a slightly warm finish. After 3 hours, the last 2 glasses were much better with nice length and darker berry fruits but it still gave out a slightly dry finish and warm finish. Still excellent, though. The last half of the bottle gets a 93

Slightly cloudy dark ruby. Mixed red and black berries with black pepper on the nose. Sweet blackberries and mulberry syrup with mouth-gripping tannins that dry out the tongue. Some smoked meats enter the equation with a little tar and coffee resin in the finish. Needs another few years of age. From memory, much better than the last bottle I tried .

This is the stuff that put Stefan on the map. Drinking beautifully at the moment. Well done.

Last bottle of a case I bought many years ago. This wine is a delight.
