Complete nose, with stunningly pure fruit emerging from the glass, gently developed but still vivid. The palate shows power and structure with another 20 good years ahead.

Nice nose with red fruit on the palette. Good acidity and soft tannins. Very nice tasting but near the end of its pinnacle.

Bordeaux style wine but had an indescribable after taste which diminished after an hour of opening the bottle. Would recommend decanting couple hours
