A private tasting and dinner at a friend's (Amsterdam): Magnum. Warm and rich, vinous, undergrowth, plums and raisins, spices, ripe but does not lack balance or freshness even if acidity is obviously low, ripe tannins, good length. A creditable 2003.

Showing some age but in a good way. Color fading and tannins pretty much melted. Dried red fruit and sweet leather character.

Needed a couple hours to really show. Early lots of pepper ,fruit and alcohol but it warmed up, rounded out and was a very enjoyable.
