Purchased two bottles 5 years ago. First bottle consumed December 2015 was not what we expected and it got 87 pts. At that time, I wrote: “Could be that it will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar, but I am not sure.” So now it is 5 years since the first bottle. This second bottle was better.
Bottled June 2014. Unfiltered. Decanted 5.5 hrs which was OK. Dark purple colour. Fruity aroma with indications of minerals. Full body. Taste was powerful and fruity, distinct tannins, some cherries. Dry towards the end. Good structure and well-balanced acidity/sweetness. Long aftertaste. 90 pts.
