Harmony and balance. The wine still has a relatively dark color, the nose is complex but well balanced. The bouquet offers dark fruit, vanilla and chocolate. The medium to long finish comes with a wonderful sweetness where all elements are in harmony and the polished tannins indicate the mastership of the winemaking. Will hold 1-2 more years if not more.
Decanted for one hour before drinking with a beef stew. Even better than last time. Beautifully balanced between tannins, acidity and fruit. Blackberries on the palate with a long finish. There is still more to come in the next year or so.

Amazing wine! Definitely at it's peak. Needed about 1h in the decanter and kept improving on the glass.
Drink soon!

Solid wine. Nose nice. Wine well integrated but muted fruit - good to pair with food. Nice finish.

Drunk after 30 min in decanter. Soft tannins. Medium weight. Delicious black berries. Mature now, but several more years ahead of it.
