Fruit Day - Cork sound. Decanted off a tablespoon of sediment and more was stuck to the side of the bottle making decanting a bit more challenging. Fully mature with browning core and edges but still showing dark red as well. Nose is elegant and full with red flowers, damp earth, dried herbs, and even some graphite. On the palate it has a bit of a Bordeaux character overlaid with ripe dark fruit, tobacco and herbs. The finish is long with the fruit, tobacco and some spice intermixed. A stellar bottle.

Still retaining a youthful color, dark and purplish. Beautiful nose of spring flowers, hot rocks, black and blue fruits, toasty oak and spice. Medium-full bodied, this is in a wonderful place. Still youthful and loaded with sweet black fruits, spice galore, great acidity and a solid backbone of tannin. This is great now and should last several more years with ease. Drink now-2027 92

siehe Aufzeichnug von 2017. Leider 2018 nicht top gelagert, daher war diese Flasche recht reif und musste ausgetrunken werden. Am zweiten Tag etwas schwach. Die letzten 200 ml am dritten Tag dann wieder sehr gut! Gut gelagert bis 2022+

Brief leather blew off, black and blue fruits still fresh, silky tannins aging well

This was tasty and well integrated, in good drinking window, little leftover of smokey oak but not over-powering 89-90
