February 17, 2020 - The bottle (which I bought very recently from a trusted merchant) was in good condition: The filling-level was very top shoulder, the cork was almost completely soaked (except for just the last mm), no seepage. The wine was medium garnet in colour and offered dried cherry, strawberry, spices, cinnamon, clove, cedar, leather, tobacco and mild balsamic notes as well as hints of coffee, coconut, chocolate and vanilla, complemented by a slight hint of mint on the finish, with pronounced acidity, fully resolved tannin and good length. The wine was awkward at first, then pulled itself together after about ten minutes in a small decanter, and started to be become slightly drying and more acidic after another 20 minutes. Good complexity. Fully mature and starting to decline. Drink up. 90(-)
