  The previous bottle (see TN) some months ago was definitely in a poor condition. This time the wine is lively, with no sign of overmaturity. Sweet cherry nose with salty earthy tones, very fresh. Bright mouthfeel with grippy tannins. Juicy, fresh and long.

  Right after opening a smell of over-maturity, with a light touch of cork. Both disappeared and came back several times during the evening. The taste was somehow disjointed at the beginning, but after several hours the wine settled down and the structure became more apparent. It is a full palate wine with lively acidity and still gripping tannins. Long. No doubt this is a serious wine making and enjoyable wine, but this bottle did not hit my x-spot of the tongue.

  We both enjoyed this, but was not excellent. Clearly from a warm vintage. Some fuzzy texture. Interesting cola and secondary wood.
