This was supposed to be way over the hill years ago and it did felt like it when I pop 'n poured it but after 2h it started singing. Seductive perfume, truffels, dried red berries and some cigar box. On the palate it's really complex and vivid with still some grippy tannins. I finished this bottle easily all by myself. Such a treat.

Still pretty young on the nose but the palate has mellowed down tannin-vise. It has lovely port-style nose. Even though it has 15,5% alc. it's really well integrated in the wine and you can't taste it. Really lovely stuff and you can still keep this another 10 years in cellar if you want more mature notes on your wine.

This one had a bit too much animalistic and funky tones for my taste. The tannins were really smooth and it still had nice balance. I would have liked this one probably more 5 years ago when it was fruitier.
