The near monolithic brooding dark fruit begins the journey. Juicy cherries pave the way for pencil lead shavings with a definite nod to porcini mushrooms sitting on some leather. What it lacks is any long tasting finish. As to being a hot vintage….you’d never know. Some current reviews suggest more time in the bottle. The bones of this wine would suggest otherwise.

Heel rijke neus, krachtig, lange fijne afdronk, nog veel tannines.

Does NOT show like a 14 year old wine. On the nose, dark fruit, cassis, pencil lead. In the mouth bigggg dark fruit, cassis, leather, some unresolved tannins. Long finish. Good mouthfeel. Needed 2+ hours in a decanter to open up after shutting down after a brief open period. Very nice, slightly more modern.

Father’s Day wine. Classic Bordeaux from a good year. Still young, can’t believe it’s 14 years old.

17.5/20 (93/100) Богатый аромат с нотами ментола, кедра, кожи, черничного и вишневого варенья. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично!
