  This is my #6 Faustino I GR.
  About 3 weeks ago I had a 1993 vintage - 98 points!
  Let's see what this 2 year younger wine can do for me.
  15 minutes in the decanter.
  A lot of sediments with big like grains of sand particles.
  🕙
  Definitely it's not in the same class mostly because of the structure. Light and one - sided with red fruits like raspberry ( nice!), red cherry and red currant. Dry grippy tannins. Long finish with spice, red cherry.
  Smell is very nice and sweet.
  Plum, red cherry, black cherry, raisins, tobacco
  Despite the above problems the wine is still delicious and highly drinkable.

  Over toppen på denne omgangen. Men var drikkbar. Det var ikke 1994.

  Medium-to-full bodied, medium acid. Vanilla. Blueberries. Spicy tannins. Elegant aftertaste with hint of anise. Delicate and balanced wine.

  Drinks so, so well right now. Magical. Sublime. Discreet fruit with autumn tones. Like drinking velvet. If i got the chance I would buy loads more.
