Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red, and looking dark and deep. On the nose it is intense, youthful, ripe, rich and complex. The taste is fresh, full, rich, fat, toasty, firm, perfumed, ripe, warming, with high tannin ., with silky tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has cigar-box, cedar, blackcurrant, perfumed and licorice flavours. The finish is long, round, lingering, flavorful and spicy. This wine is beauty and too oxidised for unbiased valuation. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
