Dark tawny with some scarlet. Almost opaque. Fruit forward nose. Notes of ripe bing cherries, sandalwood, flowers and ripe rhubarb. Rich fruit in the mouth balanced against some big shoulder structure. This was flabby at first, fruity and hot (representative of the vintage)... but with air everything came together. A nice surprise. Still young but enjoyable if you give it a ton of air.

Whoa, massive, black tight fruit, serious structure. Two hours in the decanter couldn't help this wine open. Classic example of infanticide (and opening bottles too late at night).

This had a lot less oak on it than other magnien I've tried. Masses of red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, even some black cherry. Vanilla, clove behind the fruit, some sous bois. A little too boisterous for my taste, but maybe that can be resolved with time.
