Healthy colour, rather young. Elegant complex nose, a bit shy. Red fruit, tertiary notes. Full-bodied complex taste, long finish with a boatload of fine-grained tannin. While being a proper Madiran, this possesses a certain elegance. Makes me think of a Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre Margaux '98 I drank recently. And that is saying something ..!

Lovely nose - earth, damp forest floor - clean though. On the palate - still dense, very enjoyable though - went down well with Devon Wagyu burgers and Independence Day.

Some bricking, but still a very healthy dark red colour after 23 years. Complex clean nose dominated by red fruits, with an interesting earthy note. Smooth attack, fresh, red fruit, intense. Soft finish. Still in the drinking window I'd say, and some spare to go. Excellent!

Fortfarande en tanninstinn buse men tillsammans med lite mat stillar den sig och tanninerna och lämnar plats i strålkastarljuset åt björnbär, blå plommon och läder.

Long haul as always. The fruit is peeping through but this needs longer to come to fruition for my taste.
