Great structure and stunning aromaticity. Taste very diverse and intense. Probably too young vintage (2014) and the bouquet opens up after good oxygenation. Great wine and definitely to keepa few more years to reach the maturity. Great. — 7 years ago

Very good nose. In the mouth the taste is very balanced and structured. Richness is noble and still shows potential of aging.
Very good wine.

Limited nose.
Fantastic taste. Balance is prefect. Richness is impressive and really enjoyable. Finesse is there too and make the whole experience really great.
The structure is still robust and with character.

Somehow disappointing nose, per let's say surprising noise.
Good taste with great balance. Good richness and elegance.
Not so much long lasting in the mouth.
