Spot on and still young. Dark red color no bricking. Showing some secondary notes of charred wood and leather with light tobacco. Still tannic and could’ve used a decant. Great wine

Bit more lightening on the rim , more garnet . Touch more herbal on the nose with cedar , and grafite, much more lean and mineral on the palate. This takes quite a while to find its feet and benefits from quite a lot of air . In some ways a little unfortunate to be served between the 2000 and 1990 , which are a fuller , and more showy in style . However after a while this does show quite good length and balance , refreshing acidity . This is quite lean and mineral , focused and still pretty young . From now over the next 10 years. A little austere in style , reminds me a little of the 2005 in that aspect , though without that vintage’s intensity or density .

You could smell the beauty of it the second you open the bottle. Takes a minute to open up, naturally but had pretty good staying power. Great structure and balance.
