  Nach wie vor sehr präsent, im Glas ein tiefes Schwarz mit rötlichem Antlitz. Im Mund sehr voluminös, viele Beeren, Lakritz,, etwas Röstaromen. Im Abgang lang und mit dichter Fülle.
  Noch lange nicht am Zenit, aber bereits sehr gut zu trinken.

  WOnderful nose, intense and slightly sweet in the mouth. A big wine, tasty and well-made but missing some sense of place for me.

  This was a great bottle of wine, well made but not over made. violets, thyme, rose-hip or rosella fruit, and classic red rose notes on the nose. Remembering that this is from a time when excessive oak treatment was popular, I didn't see any impact from the oak treatment, some dusty tannins are still holding in there.
  
  In the mouth it's all India ink and tar, with a solid core of fruit that is well defined and delicious. A brilliant line of acid that keeps me raising the glass frequently finishes things off nicely.
  
  This is in a great place right now and I doubt it will improve too much from here, but there is no rush - this will live for decades to come by the looks of it.

  Monthly Tasting Group - Spain: This was big, maybe a bit modern in style. There was lots of chocolate, dark berries, and then olives. This drank very young.

  Monthly Tasting Group: Spain (Estelle, St. Paul, MN): Small taste. This was fairly ripe and extracted, Black fruit, new world style, but balanced.
