Medium translucent ruby. Nose more reticent than last time (2 years ago), eventually giving off wafts of deep-seated raspberry and cherry scents accompanied by iodine, damp cellar, and lifted violets. Layers of spicy, iron-inflected red and black raspberry fruit cut with earth and anise on the very present palate. More obviously tannic this time, balancing crisp, young acidity. Long finish of iron and berry fruit. Pure and powerful, this wine is evolving, indicating a long, extended arc.

Time has served this wine well, and it is now in prime drinking phase. Rich raspberry fruit on the palate, just delightful. Long, elegant yet powerful (at the village level), Complex, as it evolved interestingly in the glass over a couple of hours. I would suggest drinking on it's fruit over the next couple of years, excellent wine.

this was just lovely and drinking very nicely - it has complexity to it that you don't expect - excellent and should get better and better

Right uppercut to the jaw. Sweet young bright cranberry on the bog. Just feeling my boots sinking in to the mud. White pepper finish.

令人印象深刻的乃是香气,一开始是很熟的红樱桃、树莓,轻微的硬糖感,红果丰盛优雅,带着一点点淡雅的水粉晕染感,带有淡淡的奶昔味和一点点清新的晨中山林草本的呼吸,似是“濯清涟而不妖”。随后慢慢出现一些略微带黑果的果酱感,倏忽之间,清新的玫瑰花瓣和玫瑰露又出现了。慢慢地,甘草末、红木家具(偶尔会有点檀木的感觉)、玫瑰精油等也慢慢浮现,一直在变化。相比起香气,口感表现显得没那么好,只能算是水平不错的村级酒。入口有着大年基本的成熟度和不错的集中度,酸度较高,结构中,单宁铺满口腔,质地丝滑轻盈,整体比较柔。以红樱桃、草莓、树莓和黑莓等红果夹着黑果为主,还有玫瑰调和其他一些小花的味道。随着醒酒,果味变得清甜可人,带着露珠的红果有着不错的清新汁水感。中后段略带甘草和林地感,轻微有矿物感,收口有收缩感,结尾有时候会有一点轻微的苦。如果愿意为香气买单,也很好。92/100
