  Hat alles, was ein klassischer Bdx haben sollte. Am Glasrand zeigt sich ein gereifter Wein, am Anfang noch ziemliche Tannine, die sich mit Luft besser integrieren. Tabak, Zigarrenkiste, Waldboden, rote Früchte. Gute Länge.

  A very good wine for a 99. At its peak. No decanting necessary.
  Nose: typical claret aromas, riper fruit and hint of leather.
  Palate: after 30 min of opening the bottle, tannins completely disappeared leaving a very silky light to medium body, enjoyable wine. Well balanced , acidity not dominating but present. Aromas of liquorice join the fruit and leathery notes.

  My last bottle of this and it was timely. Although still in its peak drinking window, it probably is better to be consuming this in the nearer term. Taste profile is as per previous notes, but the fruit is beginning to recede and exposing some harsher notes. This just needs to be popped and poured.

  Deep garnet.
  Very intense and aged nose. Spices, leather, prunes, earthy aromas. Beautiful.
  Medium to light body, very soft and elegant with some drying tannins left. Spicy with flavours of coffee, prunes, some red berries, earth. Lacks a little bit of depth and intensity of flavours but otherwise very enjoyable.
