  Beautiful nose, dark fruit, floral tones, dark chocolate, herbal tones
  Dark fruits, cassis, blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, still some tannins, fresh acidity, long nice aftertaste.

  Dark and powerful. Deep and brooding. A solid core of fruit with an inherent structure that could take a blast from a nuclear bomb. Perfect with roast duck and duck confit.

  Dark and dense color. A bit green aromas with blackcurrant, not unlike a Medoc. Sweet fruit and loads of tannins on the palate. Concentrated and impressive.

  A wine for the mouth, far more than for the nose. Some notes here suggest it's not yet mature, but I don't concur. This will never have the broad and deep bouquet of a first class burgundy or a Barolo. What it does have, is an incomparable mouthfeel of depth, grip and sustained power. The texture is the key, and the key unlocks the kind of wine you should open were Putin to hit the red button. It gives you sustenance and resolve. Just what you may need. [88/100 means Excellent! - let's all move out of the inflated scores where every wine is "Outstanding (90-95/100)."]

  Black and powerful wine. Drinkable but not mature yet.
