MAGNUMS are better!!!!
This is an etched limited edition magnum. Beautiful bottle.
5 hour decant.
Oxblood in color.
Salty, sangre nose. Black tea and pencil shavings.
Unctuous and still grippy . Still remnants of tannin present. Smooth, silky, long finish. This wine is bloody amazing right now. Easily mistaken for a French first growth. Just the best.

Nez fenouil, fleur blanche. En bouche, ample, puissant mais fort bien balancé. Presence de beaux tanins soyeux en final. Belle longueur. Belle surprise

Classic bordeaux style, not too modern, green pepper, spices, black fruit, still a bit tannic. Maybe another 3-4 year for its peak

Another fun one to drink after holding for about 8 years.
This was delicious, with no overall signs of aging. Great structure with medium tanin. Will look to see what newer vintages are available of this.

A rich and elegant wine, very dark ruby/garnet, floral dark fruit and earth on the nose, plum blue fruit and a touch of cocoa on the palate, soft tannins and a medium long finish. Well worth the wait.
