  [Museum Release 1/1/08] Rich dark berries, kirsch, blackforest, savoury leather, mandarin peel, 5spice, juicy. Mocha. Tannins well resolve, soft and silky, opulent, concentrated and yet elegant. An absolute joy and stunner. Long eucalypt finish, black wet earth, smoke and savoury leather. Excellent, wished I had more. Drinking at a great place presently - power yet elegant.

  This was still in great shape.
  The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  Internationals vs. Hungarians - blind tasting with friends: Visible tartrate crystals, it was obvious that this wine wasn't new.
  Sweet, sherry-like aroma. Complex and really well balanced taste with an exceptionally long finish.

  Fully mature but still fresh. Medium-bodied. Raspberry, blackberry, dark cherry. Chocolate and leather. Pleasant, but a little flat on the palate. Lacking in vigour, vivacity, elegance.

  Dark core with light brick edge. Nose of spice, cedar, red fruit and eucalyptus. To taste the first impression was fresh red currant fruit with bright acidity, integrated tannins but some heat. Very good but alcohol quite prominent.
