Don t know how this tasted in the suggested window. But I’m guessing that window wasn’t 20 years. Now is has a massive blackberry, plum, cherry, tabaco. Still mild tanine, no aging toned. Light bayleaf bitters. Very enjoyable (or as Peter would say: quafable 🤪)

This has been my "every day drinking" wine for the last 1,5 year - easy drinking wine.

Highly individual style. Pretty violet nose of plum, raspberries and cherries. The structured, peppery palate is all plums, sherbet and rhubarb.

A bit sour and acidic, pleasantly fruity with a very dry finish.

Blend of red varietals. Oak and earth with a pinch of vanilla flavour, maybe chalk, reminiscent of high end Bordeaux. Integrated tannins, soft and sweet palate with a good linger, roundness and overall presence. Good work.
