Nose of earthy funk, mushrooms, black cherry, tobacco, spices. Tannins have mellowed quite nicely. Smooth and velvety. Black cherry, leather, smoked mushroom. Assertive, but with finesse. 5+ years head of it.

fine mature example of Madiran; some tannins remaining that give the wine a fierce backbone, the nose smells very good, some oak but leather impressions as well; quite good; holding well.

Attractive nose with berries, spices, tobacco, underbrush. Powerful and long, somewhat rustic.

Attractive nose of malt, spices, leather, truffles. Good tannin structure, tannins quite smooth. Finish is rather short.
