A great wine but still closed, deep and concentrated, elegant, amazing length.
Lovely garnet; nose does not really open up; on the palate still smooth but is starting to dry out, nice tannins.
Light but lovely colour; light and autumnal on the nose; on the palate quite light too, slightly vinegary?
Lovely ripe garnet; wonderful nose of noble oak and cabernet; slightly light on the palate but velvety, well-balanced and long.
Medium-intense, lively appearance; quite closed on the nose; on the palate powerful and structured, great length. Needs time.
Old and light, little to it on the nose, light but smooth, good length. Not bad.
Old and light; not completely clean, edgy acidity.
Very mature colour; slightly reticent on the nose; lively and rounded on the palate, slightly light; nice length.
Dark and powerful, rich and complete, structured and tannic. Excellent.
