Surprisingly, from a .750 still drinking well. Good fruit, dark color, popped and poured. Smoky, dark fruit-filled finish. My last bottle but exceeded expectations Smoke em if you got ‘em!

Deep red color. Aromas of black fruits, graphite and wood spices. Ripe, well-balanced fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length and nicely integrated oak and tannins. Very intense and persistent on the palate. This impressive wine reminded of a very good Chateau Haut Brion. Still in sweet spot of drinking maturity.

Rubinrød kant, svart kjerne. Parfyrmert, blomster, svarte bær, lakris. Vanvittig syre, men likevel flott balanse. Bra lengde. 1997 Foradori, Granato, Terral dego 91-92 p Dette er dritkult. Fremstår som en ungfole, og nærmer seg pensjonsalderen.

Deep purple color with no signs of age in the glass. The nose was rich with dark fruit, plums and dried prunes/raisins especially; with a touch of mint. Very well integrated tannins, moderate acidity and a silky smooth mouth-feel with a long dark fruit finish that revealed tar, mint and spices. This wine is still beautiful and not showing any sign of falling off - mature, yes; but definitely still has a window of excellence ahead for bottles properly stored.

Magnum! Notwithstanding the size of the bottle, which fed my hopes the wine would excell by now: vinegar! A pity…
