Pristine bottle. Perfect cork, extracted without difficulty. Mature but lively appearance, starting to brown at the edges; gentle and mature but expressive nose of black cherries and cedar, quite dusty minerality, hint of cocoa, good depth; the palate is medium-bodied and silky, off-dry, vibrant and beautifully balanced, all elements are in place, the light tannins are ripe and the flavours of chocolate and mint are pure and intense; complete finish, very good length. Solid rather than spectacular but with a modicum of style, approachable now and not for the very long term. Drink now.
