Perfect cork and fill. Shockingly young initial presentation. Crimson to rusty red with minimal bricking. Bright red cherry, brambly berry fruit and a hint of green tobacco. Needed 2+hours to mellow and drank very well the following 2 hours. Plenty of acidity, fruit and a fine grain tannins remain. Impressive for its age. This particular bottle could have easily aged and improved another 10+ years.

Older color and nose, some fruit, a bit burnt on the finish. Decanted for a hour surely helped to brighten it up. Drink

Courtesy of MaY. Slightly corked. Red fruit notes underneath the TCA.

Second cork wine in pristine shape, but the wine was so faded... Barely drinkable.
