Tasting from old to new vintages, the bottles were opened at 15.00, double decanted, tasting at 21.00
The wine shows very spicy character, closer to 2014 with an equal amount of ripe red fruit, cherries, currants, the palate shows again the same balance, sour cherries, ripe red currant, nice balancing acidity, a few coffee and chocolate notes, deceptively lean, medium body and a rather medium to long very tasty finish
