Amber color. A really complex bouquet. The first thing that came into mind was a sauce of cep (is that proper English? It is funghi porcini in Italian; a beautiful and tasteful mushroom with nutty flavors.) In the bouquet also nuts, figs, caramel raisins, coffee, iodine and smoke. Same on the palate; full of tastes and very tasteful. This sherry is nicely dry with good acidity, soft bitterness and an enormously long finish. The alcohol shows a bit. Not something I would like to drink on a weekly basis, but that is very personal. This is a top quality Oloroso sherry.

Parsley, celery and lavas in the bouquet; in other words; vegetable soup. On the palate light bodied, some green apple, but not fresh apple, some limestone minerals and a little bitterness. Dry, but not really refreshing. Nothing really faulty, but a very sad wine.

Flowers, some citrus, peach and grasses in the bouquet. On the palate the same. Some herbs, lime, and grapefruit, but overall not really convincing. Someone said this must be an off bottle. I am not sure.

In the bouquet some parsley, celery, anise and some salty impressions. On the palate fresh lime, melon, some flowers and tart green apples. Acceptable, quite basic wine.

Not really an expressive bouquet, but there are some white fruits. On the palate some peach, a bit fat, not sweet, but on the mid palate not much acidity. Some bitterness and minerals and a firm amount of acidity in the finish. Not really a well balanced wine.

To be honest; some were a little enthusiastic about this wine; I was not. Clear blood red color. Cherries and yoghurt impressions in the bouquet as well as on the palate. Some white pepper. Very primary and without complexity.

Blood red. A bit dusty and reticent bouquet with a lot of (American?)oak and some spiciness. On the palate a lot of oak again, some chocolate, bitterness and green, unripe tannin. Over time the wine became a little better, but overall the oak is too dominating and the wine not really complex.

Blood red with a very slightly carmine rim. In the bouquet some iron, licorice, leather, blood and a touch of VA. On the palate some chocolate, cherries, red forest fruits, unripe black forest fruits, some strawberries, a firm dose of oak and drying tannin in the finish. This was a blind note and after seeing It is a Bordeaux of the great 2000 vintage I was really disappointed. What a sad effort this is.

The bouquet is a bit locked but shows green herbs, tobacco and some oak. On the palate juicy start with vanilla, red berries, a touch of sweetness good acidity and soft tannin. Ok length.

In the bouquet smoke, toast, sulfur and phosphorus in the almost volcanic bouquet. Same on the palate. Juicy acidity and pepper. Special wine. Need to taste again. No score.

Beautiful bouquet with red and dark berries, some oak and a touch of sweetness. On the palate a sweet start, round and creamy tannin, chocolate and good oak. The wine is ready now, but no real hurry.
