  Modest nose of rich, super ripe blackberries and lavender. Full-bodied, this is round on the palate and shows maturity, but no signs of advanced age. Quite delicious on its on and with Chinese takeout! The palate is loaded with sweet blackberry syrup, black cherry, laurel and Asian spices. This is delicious and has really improved since my last bottle. Drink now-2028 93

  Kirsch, sweet cherries, some alcohol heat on the full bodied palate, but with enough freshness, pepper and savory notes. Fine tannins and good length, but quite massive as usual. Drinking perfetly now. Lots of sediment so treat carefully. 17/20

  PNP. Firat taste was concerning as it had a pronounced tar essence which wa really pungent in the tongue. Also very brown, rim and entire body. Second pour what was maybe too tart softened and revealed really dark fruit, briary. Third pour was outstanding. So drinking excellently. Another year or two; I have one more bottle and it’ll go this year

  Mid garnet colour,
  Vegetal triatry aromas , tar and leather,
  Very fresh and fruity notes
  Aged butifully, but still fresh and vibrant.
  
  Aging potential 6-8 years
