Very evolved colour, beautiful style, has developed a ripe, walnutty complexity.

Relatively light colour, initially there is a whiff of fresh mushrooms but that blows off; ripe, creamy, well-rounded, fresh like water from a mountain spring.
Masculine claret, with the warmth and ripe fruit of this hot vintage, drinking beautifully (decanted), but no rush whatsoever. Now - 2025.
Dark and brooding, softens in the decanter but remains uncommunicative; closed but perfect with spicy food.
Sweet, lively, much less oxidative than in the communist era.
Smooth and apply, fresh and very delicious.
