  Excellent. Smooth, lively tannin. Could have benefited from 1 or 2 hour decant. Has 8-10 years minimum.

  Superb wine and still fairly spry for 20 years old. In a good window.
  
  Decanted and watched it evolve over a couple hours but it was singing after the initial pop. Intense but classic nose of cherry liqueur, dried tomato, leather, herbs de Provence, flint and subtle tertiary wafts of undergrowth and moss. Expressive and just lovely definition of its character.
  
  Palate was soft but pleasingly weighty, with light to moderate tannin and a juicy acidity, even with its age. Excellent balance.

  in Magnum. nice nose, quite complex with an iron touch. the palate is very delicate, smooth and fresh. the style was unexpected. I was anticipating a lusher wine.

  Medium ruby with a tiny garnet rim. Medium plus black fruit and fresh tilled earth on the nose. Pronounced spice and black damp earth on the palate. Full body with medium plus acidity. Velvet tannins and well integrated alcohol. A palate of dark fruit and spice with a minty freshness that keeps this wine interesting. Outstanding wine making. This shows it's incredible pedigree. Enjoyed with grilled quail and artichokes. Won't improve but will keep for much longer i think.
