What a surprise, leathery baked fruit mixed with tar, smokey meat, roasted herbs and crushed black rocks. Richly textured, reminiscent of CNDP or Priorat to me

Doesn't get much better. 14 years on it. Lots of deep roasted raisin with a little cedar. Great balance with alcohol. Thick colour.

(17.5/20) Насыщенный, джемовый аромат чёрных ягод с нотами шоколад и кедра. Тельное с бархатистыми танинами. Гармоничное, зрелое вино с прекрасным букетом.
