Decanted. This was a rather pale orange red. The nose was very pretty, with nice violets and a hint of licorice, very enticing. The palate followed with strong tannins and cherry, very elegant. This was a really nice wine, seemed to be in a good spot now, but could surely lay in the cellar for a while more.
Decanted. Quite a dark garnet red to the rim. This needed some airtime to come out, dark fruits and dried fig on the nose. Quite a bit of tannins on the palate, with lots of dried figs and a slight sweetness to it. A full-bodied wine with excellent balance.
