  Nice initial perfume but this is distinctive for Edelatone (a wine I love), as it’s early picked. Wood - US and French - dominates the palate and finish and there isn’t quite enough fruit due to the early picking (which mutes the nose and sweetness). Almost red rather than black fruit. Finish is dry, tannic and woody - but with a hint of herbs and mint to provide class. Absolutely needs steak. One of my least favourite renditions but still class. 92pts, drink to 2025

  like new cork; dark violet; heady, spicy nose; rich, fresh red & dark fruit, hint of camphor; well-integrated tannins, long spicy finish. Decades of youthful life left

  Elegant, but a bit flat compared to the 98, nice opulent nose, nice finish, but no nearly the same fruit, sweetness and complexity.
