Feb 13th, 2019Right in the zone. Beautiful red and dark fruits, with oak now well and truly settled adding compelling sweet spice. Delicate, long lacy tannins. Glides through the palate.

May 19th, 20162005, A pure pleasure!! complex, rich and elegant. Deep purple color, lovely tempting complex and appealing nose with layers of black current, dry flowers, berries, animalistic characters, wet forest soil, and dark chocolate, full body, deep rich, round yet robust and elegant, with very well integrated tannins and lovely smooth balancing acidity. A lavish long yummy finish. A true star!!! My score 93+, drink 2010-2030.
