From magnum. Decanted for 2 hours and consumed over the rest of the evening. Nice dark tawny color. Mostly translucent. Bright, bing cherry nose. Also notes of earth, red licorice, rhubarb. Big and powerful in the mouth. The exotic perfume grows as this wine gets time to open in the glass. Later in the evening this was singing. This large format bottle could easily have delivered more pleasure for another 10 years.

Jul 25th, 2020From magnum. Dark reddish tawny color, sharp in the glass. Bright nose develops with air and reveals notes of ripe black cherries, rhubarb, Asian spice and a little menthol. Very complete in the mouth. Fruit and acidity in nice balance. Young still, although this was a well stored magnum. Still has more to develop in the bottle I think/hope.

Sep 16th, 2017Tasted blind. Dark and opaque. Closed nose despite hours of air. Black fruit, pepper, suis bois nose. Seems to be a very young wine and needs another 10+ years to be more complex. 93+.
