Deep purplish ruby red in appearance. Dark minerality on the attack of the palate with some baking spices, dark berries and a touch of cola. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a full body. Well rounded with blackberries, spices and a hint of wood. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2031. (94+)

Tasted at dinner featuring Holden Manz wines, hosted by Caviste wine merchant, Hampshire, UK. Garnet colour. Closed nose. Big and grippy, heavy tannins. I think too young, but may be good later. It's expensive, so not sure whether it's worth the gamble buying and keeping.

Barrel Tasting with Gerard Holden and Thierry Haberer.
Dark ruby red. Layered nose with dark cocoa, black fruits, perfumey and nice amount of spices. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Tons of gravel on the palate, layered chocolate and dark berries. Long finish. (92-94)
