Earthy nose, fresh with some green herby notes Tastes so young, firm tannins, fresh fruit and acidity, dark chocolate. Has a lovely aromatic, resinous quality Still so structured, this is clearly a wine for the long term though you will not be disappointed if you drink it now

Colour - Rich dark ruby with a thin rim of tawny Nose - Full blackberry jam, with slight hint smokey/cedar on the finish Taste - Rich and very smooth, soft tannins and fruit that fill the mouth. Lingers on the palate.
Overall - not a big wine but very drinkable.

Remarkably youthful and fruity for a 25-year old with dark purple and only 90% opaque. Everything seems nicely integrated in this one, I even called this a "construction-worker" compared to the 1982!
Powerful and youthful with lots of life ahead! Drink now - 2035

Not bad, but lacking in complexity.

Maybe needs more time. Still dark. A bit cough syrupy. Not enough secondary and tertiary flavors. Plum, black cherry, linzer tart flavors.
