Tannic and closed tight on palate and not showing fruit or depth. no finish tannic. Modern but nice. Opens with time. Will be nice.

Traditional in style - higher VA, chalky tannins but amazing rose notes. Would be intrigued to see this in 7-10 years.

Quite nice. Double decanted two hours before another decant and service. Young, dense, but highly perfumes

Pronounced Rose and wood on nose, red and darker fruit on palate with touch of heat but in balance. Typical characteristics, tar, earth, olive, fig, this has great future. 2006 in magnum, pop and pour. With a few years and or a decant this would have been even better.
