Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 6:33 am
Last of three magnums. Decanted 4.5 hrs. Dark red with a significant brown touch. Quite nice aroma of subdued oak, berries, minerals and old cellar. Full to medium body. Powerful, elegant taste of berries/oak/minerals, good tannins throughout the taste. Minerals coming on and being stronger towards the end. Medium length aftertaste. Well-structured wine which clearly had a benefit of the extra decanting from previously 3 hrs to this bottle 4.5 hrs. 91 pts.
