All dry mid red fruits on the nose. Cranberry, rhubarb, cherry, strawberry and rustic leather. It's like an older Tempranillo. Dry rustic mid fruits that fall into fig and dates. Leather. Woody, dry finish. Tannins are still quite big for an 03. The hot summer cooked the fruit.

17.5/20 (93/100) Приятный букет ароматов ментола, тоффи, варенья из красных и чёрных ягод, ванили. Довольно тельное и кислотное с округлыми танинами. Продолжительное послевкусие. Масса удовольствия.

Very very good but incredibly tannic still at this age. Needs a ton more time to even out. Good with food. Excellent acid and deep dark fruit. But the tannins are a bit much without food at this point.
