Still tannic and quite young despite 27years old. Lovely nose showing dark Berries and a hint of leather. Long aftertaste. Very good.

Great wine! Enjoyed it with friends all on its own.

Just starting to develop some secondary characteristics. Slight vegetal notes with cassis and licorice on the nose. The finish is yet to be resolved--still a but tannic, too. Beautifully structured (and quite young) for 24 years old!
