Still pretty fresh, fruits on the redder side, a little meaty/olive texture, medium body, moderate length, tannin fully resolved. Last of eight. Excellent value for $30.

Our last bottle of twelve, and also the best. Aromatically brilliant, the stems fully transformed into perfume. Caressing texture, great complexity and freshness as well. No signs of decline really, it should remain in this beautiful state for a few years more.

Lovely bright ruby. Blackberry fruit, crunchy, lively. Fresh acidity, medium length. Still a tannic backbone. Fine violet background. Elegant, well balanced.

Complex nose. All kinds of ground pepper - especially green and rosé. Juniper wood, herbs, bayleaf and liquorice over red and black berries. Still has kicking acidity, structure and mineral grip. Not as mellow in the mouth, more slender now. Excellent stuff that still can go for years.

Great wine! Rustic in the best sense. Flavourful, lingering.
