  • pavel_p Likes this wine: 92 points

    September 6, 2020 - Bought recently two magnum (is this wine only bottled in magnum?) and was curious to try as I still vividly remember an outstanding bottle of the 82 Janus Reserva a few years back. Quick double decant at home and took to a dinner. Initially a strange, chemical off smell on the nose which however disappeared with more air. Fairly rich but with nicely balancing acidity, not overripe in my eyes, dark fruit, just a touch of chocolate, leather, initially tannins quite present but soften quickly with more air. Good length.
    Nice wine, if anything would wish for a bit more delineation as this feels very soft.
