Very interesting wine. Dark ruby/purple in colour, with a nice nose full of rich deep black fruits, tobacco and a hint of green (though this disappeared with time). Lots of tobacco and red and mainly earthy black fruits again on the medium-full bodied palate, with a nice amount of ripe tannins and a hint of smoke and oak too. Great texture to this wine, with a nice glycerin note and long finish. Not too complex right now, but it's well balanced, tasty, concentrated and powerful, and will improve with time I think (no rush to drink this at all). No green flavours on the palate with this bottle. At the sale price I paid, I wish I had more (A-)!

Pop and pour - more balanced then I remember. Still quite green though, but less so.

Such a good wine. Full bodied and full flavoured but now with mature calmness and balance.
