Matured beautifully. Still quite a bit of plummy flavours well integrated with secondary flavours.

Incredible nose, as expected, bright fruit with robust package of spice and Christmas time. The finish is not as long as the caliber of the nose and bouquet, but not underwhelming.

(17/20) В первом носе много третичных ароматов; в развитии интенсивность третичных ароматов падает и начинают преобладать сухая вишня, ежевика, молочный шоколад. Умеренная кислотность и шелковистые танины. Продолжительное послевкусие. Возрастное, но весьма приятное вино.
