Thursday, August 30, 2018 - Perhaps this tasted more of ageing wine that its predecessor bottles but nevertheless one of the best. One can tell that this was a high acidity vintage but any astringency has been fully tamed and, on the nose and medium weight palate, there was liveliness in the notes of sour cherry, grilled rare meat, leather, minerals, rusty metal and olive together with delightful hints of old book and more velvety texture than before. Excellent.
