  Agréable à l’ouverture sur son fruit et et son équilibre bien assis, mais ne tient pas le repas suivant.

  Very primary and somewhat closed nose. Concentrated dark fruits, but at this moment everything is overshadowed by massive, massive tannins. This wine will drink great 20 years from now.

  It's a little tight and thin immediately after opening but unfolds somewhat after an hour or so and then continues to improve. Shows a little cedar and black plum but pretty subtle with a heavy tannin load...I'm glad I waited this long before opening the first bottle. It's good and will hopefully improve as the tannin integrates.

  Dark red with a blueish hue and a thin rim. Fruity nose that shows some mature notes. Softened after a few ours in a decanter. Palate is fruity with ample but round tannins in balance. Will probably continue to improve and mature over another 3-5 years, perhaps longer.

  Some Madirans transform with old age and become more like a mature high quality Bdx with lots of leather etc and I think this is one of them since there is allready hints of that. Will try to keep my last two bottles for another ten years.
