Opened for 30 min. Sweet nose offering pineapple, passion fruit, butter. On palate this nice wine has a pungent, high acidity along with a remarkable mineral, metallic taste and also a saline taste. It finishes with a mature ripe white fruit and a bitter ending. A surprising white that I would love to pair with sea food. (89-90)
Opened for 30 min. Rustic and very intense nose with blood, raw meat, smoke, ashes, bacon and blue cheese... the bouquet it's quite a joy, changes a lot for an hour. On palate has overripe black fruits and some sweetness. The tannins are present but sweet, it has medium body and finishes with a long red kirsch liquor fruit flavor. Excellent (91-92)

Opened for 30 min. Bouquet starts with subtle raisins, burnt sugar, gum, banyards and slowly turns to kirsh liquour and forest floor. After 30 min in glass nose keeps evolving, now to ashes, ripe plum and some sweet aromas. On palate it's medium to full bodied, rounded, almost no hard edges, silky mid palate. It has ripe blackberries, cocoa and finished with a bitter black chocolate flavour. Really nice wine, didn't stop to get better in glass. Wonderful. (90-91+)
