Amazing nose of red and dark fruits. Medium to full bodied with resolved tannins and layers of flavors. Drank with a friend for his birthday. We both enjoyed it.

Beautiful deep dark colour. The wine pretty much explodes in your face at first smell. The nose opens beautifully with soft vanila, ripe dark berries, including blackcurrent, iron (rust), a touch of smoke. The nose is stunning, at least to me. The palate has a sweet touch to it, which is substituted with an edgy acidity that might be too much tom some people, but not to me. I wish I had more bottles left (and in the glass as I'm drinking as I'm writing this). Drink now or hold a few years more, but not too long. Cheers guys & gals.

Not as good as the first bottle we had a few years ago - starting to decline.
