  A bit over the hill but still a super nice glass of wine - se my note from 2015. Should have drunk it back in 2015-2016. Have lost lots of its fruits and a bit "flat". Drink now and no decanting.

  Vino sùper fantàstico. Decanted for 2 houers and had it with grilled steak, potatoes, sauce bernaise and green vegs. Color close to black. Very powerfull non filtered wine, rich, full body - very long finish and all very well integratet. Nose and palate ... plenty of black fruits, bleckberries, little very little liquorice, woody,eathy and dusty.Medium acid well balanced. Plenty of tannins well integrated. A great wine in full harmony ready to drink or keep in cellar next 3-5 years. Top $ enjoy OT

  This surprised me in how youthfull it is and is certainly quite an outstanding wine! Rich, full bodied and almost a little dense but certainly maintains a great balance. Tannins are super smooth and seems fully resolved. Still quite some primary black fruit notes showing and woodsmoke, vanilla, espresso roast. Also some treebark kind of note, plus pine needles and cloves. Alcohol is showing a little and a small hint of liquorice detracts. Overall a great wine.

  This is definitely a sophisticated wine. It is now a decade old and may be at its peak. I was worried for the hot vintage (2003), but it in some wines, this seems to be a bonus and they do hold up. Straight out of the bottle came a medium bodied, smooth, yet tight beam of tannins with fine grained dusty mouthfeel and a very focussed beam of blackberry cassis. I decanted half the bottle and it is slow to open but very enjoyable in its integrity. An hour and a half later, it is still displaying a good amount of tannin well integrated with the alcohol and dark, black fruit. I had with a steak and it was a fine pairing. Next up, chocolate New York style cheesecake. I think that will knock it out of the park. A wine of power held tightly together in perfect balance and elegance.
