  In fantastic shape and ripe to be drunk today. Savory, tobacco leather and beautiful dark fruits.

  From Magnum. Vibrant cherry red with lifted cherry, violet, chocolate notes. Oak integrated on palate balanced with spice, dark berries and some liquorice.
  elegant wine for the hot vintage. This bottle in excellent condition

  I had some doubt about this bottle after 19 years, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. Especially on the second day after opening the wine shone! Dark cherry aromas, herbal, still full of life. Long aftertaste, good acidity and the fruit still holding up. A great pleasure to drink. I wouldn't wait any longer keeeping this wine, but unfortunately I don't have more bottles...

  Lovely. Big initial hit of sweet vanillins on the nose, followed by some red fruits. The palate is all about blackberries and there's plenty of balancing acidity to stop the oak notes from ever becoming heavy or cloying.
  A great reward for patience
