  January 21, 2024 - Nice tertiary aroma, well rounded palate. No edgy tannin or alcohol.

  January 14, 2024 - Granate muy cubierto con ribete abierto. El perfil olfativo destaca por su variedad, hay carne roja, matices balsámicos, fruta roja, madura pero también matices más frescos, especias, tostados, bosque umbrío. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, taninos intensos, nada mal de frescura, estructura media, notables amargos y gran persistencia. Muy bueno!

  February 19, 2022 - 开瓶即饮，闻香有一股VA，肉鲜味明显，山楂香气，橡木桶的奶油味，地中海香料味，这股异域气息应该和刚刚开瓶有关系。入口酸度高，酒液鲜美，单宁紧致，如细纱铺满口腔，酸梅果香十分活跃，奶油香草，巧克力，余味是红果和香草。一支明显的老酒，但保存完美，状态很棒，果香也很活跃，精致的用桶，最突出的特点就是鲜。

  January 10, 2022 - Another supposed hedonistic 2005 that is like a deflated balloon. The primary experience is of the gruesome leftover of manically implemented cooperage on grapes screaming in agony: toast, oak spice, espresso, cedar, cedar (did I say cedar?). Fruit is dried out and the wine is basically a skeleton with a little flesh hanging from it. Nauseating palate of prunes, raisins, blackberry liqueur, and vanilla. This wine made me ill.

  May 9, 2021 - Ripe vintage. Dense and good quality oak, with some balancing acidity. Can sense the grape quality underneth.
