  • Red fruity with peppery and leather notes. Tannins fully integrated, which was important as we paired it with cevapi (Balkan) finger sausages and gingery chicken, so generally spicy dinner. Marvelous.

  • OK, now that was a terrific bottle. Vibrant, scintillating, juicy. Tons of earth, underbrush, bloody meat. Worth the wait.

  • Bought recently two magnum (is this wine only bottled in magnum?) and was curious to try as I still vividly remember an outstanding bottle of the 82 Janus Reserva a few years back. Quick double decant at home and took to a dinner. Initially a strange, chemical off smell on the nose which however disappeared with more air. Fairly rich but with nicely balancing acidity, not overripe in my eyes, dark fruit, just a touch of chocolate, leather, initially tannins quite present but soften quickly with more air. Good length.
    Nice wine, if anything would wish for a bit more delineation as this feels very soft.

  • Second MAg of this evening, again from the iberian Peninsula, WOW, this stunning fragrance of very rich dark fruit, superb richness on the palate, all this with a great elegant flow, fruitforward, but a lot of mineralic hints in the background, graphite, this bottle is reminiscent of a fine Pauillac, in its very prime now, but no way flabby, even with the long aeration over this evening this wine keeps fresh and energetic, long convincing finish, a great bottle to enjoy, highly recommended! ****-(*****)
