Purple red rim, glass staining, long tears. Little sediment. Smooth, still tannic. Fruit dominates, oak follows. Juicy fruit lingers. Wait two years for next bottle to see if any complexity develops. Delightful at the moment.

Dark ruby with a slight amount of bricking sneaking in. Medium plus intensity tobacco, blackberry and chocolate aromas and flavours. Dry, medium acidity and tannin with full body and a medium plus finish. All in all, a very good offering. 4.2⭐️
Not much to it when opened, heavy bottle ? very dark smooth nice berry aromas and some spice in there. After an hour opened up more dark plum to it and got smoother and some finish, as others have said nice wine but one dimensional, would drink all day at a lower price, not worth the retail just for the worlds heaviest bottle. Improved to 90

Heavy bottle. Black centre, red rim. Minimal sediment. High alcohol feel, blackurrant but with a tannic edge. Great with food, tooth drying tannin matches the fruit. Great pleasure and universally popular.
