From magnum. This is a great wine, so distinctively Spanish or Italian in nature, by which I mean big generous fruit and big robust structure. This is delicious, delivering loads of big and rich sweet mainly black fruit but with robust tannin and balacing acidity. Persistent and complex. Drink now and over the next 10 years.

This is certainly not the moment to be open the 04 Cirsion. It’s easy to sense how much is there and it is a modern expression of the classic flavors of Rioja (albeit in a slightly over-ripe, porty style), but the oak really hasn’t integrating yet, leaving it in a place between the vibrancy of youth and the integrated complexity of maturity. Hold and hope that the slightly port-like character of the fruit doesn’t leave the wine lacking freshness by the time it’s fully mature. That long finish encourages, though...

Deep, lush, long, still very young, but beautifully balanced. Great concentration, expressive nose of dark fruits and warm spice, which continues on the palate. Warm and delicious.

"The day is the day": TK is turning 29.5 years old (Zurich): Tasted blind: Deep red almost black. Nose of caramel. This wine has power but is very balanced and long. Still young but clearly the highlight of this flight. Great effort! Wait a few more years or decant in order to get a true blockbuster wine. Drink 2016 - 2030.
