  Dark ruby. Aromas of blackberry, mulberry, roses, graphite, espresso, Mexican chocolate. Fresh dark and red fruit on the palate with a smooth feel, bordering on unctuous but enlivend by the medium to high acids, smoothly integrated medium to high tannins, low to medium alcohol (13%). Very long and classy finish with fine aromatic notes.

  Some good points, some not so good. Quite a mute nose, with just some subdued blackcurrant and a little earth. In the mouth, a very agreeable freshness at first, with cool blackcurrant notes, plus a velvety smoothness, not all that tannic, but it lacks zip. The fruit is a little too subtle and overall, it just tastes a little bland, rather like one of those anonymous second wines that are fine to have a glass of in a restaurant. Hopefully it will improve.

  In my opinion still not in the optimal drinking window. On the first evening dominating tannins, on the second smoother and some fun to drink. Next bottle in 2 years.

  Dark garnet. Black plum, blackcurrant, violets on the nose with a generous but deft touch of spicy oak. Penetrating dark fruit on the palate with a touch of green bell pepper aroma at the back, medium to high acids, strong tannins quite smoothly integrated, low alcohol (13%), light to medium body, long finish. Lovely and delicate.

  0.375 L bottle mid Aug 2019: crimson red color; red and dark berries in the nose accompanied by subtle cigar box and mint aromas; round and smooth on the palate; medium-full body.
