Still tasted very fresh and fruity. Tannins totally smoothed out.

elegant, blackberry, cherry, fruit forward, soft tannins, still quite youthful, drank alongside the 1996 Pingus, which was clearly a bigger, more complex wine

not blind Nobody guessed Spain. Bx, California, Rhone. Age was guessed about 10 years old. Still fresh, some secondary and tertiary aromas but still with some fruit. Mocca, black currant and a bit bit of cigar box. At his peak, no oxidation signs. Dark colour. 95

Tasted alongside Pingus 1996, which is why the tasting note is rather comparative in nature. Slightly translucent dark cherry color with an obviously developed tawny hue. Noticeably less expressive and more developed nose than that of Pingus 1996 with sweeter, more mature aromas of caramel, sweet syrupy fruit, some wizened dark plums, a little bit of baking spices, a hint of mocha and a touch of dusty earth. The wine is full-bodied, rich and silky on the palate with softer …

Light in colour. But of bricking. A beauty on the nose. Light. Pleasant sweetness on the palate. Good but not blown away.

It could be my cold but it seem this is going down, 4th bottle. Not as intense and lots of herbal tones, less fruit now.

Decanted for about two hours. Still has very youthful color in the purple ranges. Nose is still very fresh with notes of red and blue fruits. Some strong oak on the nose that some felt too much but I really liked it.

Bottle decant for 2 hours which is barey enough, should have used the decanter. Color looks still young and taste young too, some tannins still there but barely, definitely drinkable now, but feels like it can age more.

Blackberry, plum, vanilla, espresso powder, savory, vaguely meaty, lifted nose. Rich, layered, brightly acidic palate showing sweet-tart black fruits, plum skin, kiss of wood. This is fairly resolved, balanced, and mouthfilling, and a good example of why aging wines can pay off.

This time I have plenty of time to enjoy this, decanted half, started drinking half an hour later. Tobacco, smoked meat, game, fruit is not obvious, but is integrated and balanced. Tannins well integrated and very smooth. A truly delightful bottle.

Oaky nose, mixed with cherry and candied apple. Dark fruit, oak taste. Very nice, but the finish was not long enough.

Slightly aged nose of dark fruit. Lush dark mouth, starting to age, lovely balance, still young, but quite heavy. Sweet oaky finish. Will develop further, but no signs yet of becoming interesting.

Pingus & Family (Roberson Wine, South Ken, London) : Licorice notes, definitely the wine has evolved and has a Bordeaux feel to it, maybe it’s the cab franc aromatics. Feels like it has seen better days but its far from over with good fruit and we enjoyed it more than the 2003. Andreas 90 / Nicol 93 so 91+. Drink up.

decanted about 1 hour, no sign of age, complex aroma, medium to full bodied, long finnish. Only tasted one glass and had to leave, a pity!

Spanish-Themed Sunday Euro Lunch (Donato Enoteca, Redwood City, California) : Bricking medium dark red violet color; intriguing, tobacco, cigar box, baked plum nose; tasty, ripe plum, baked plum, prune, tangy black fruit, dill, lightly smoky palate; long finish (should go 25 years)

Reserved yet very pleasing nose of wood, dusty cherries. Opened up nicely after a couple of hours. Gained complexity, and body of mature cherry, woody, dusty fruit with a hint of caramel. Nice, fairly long, balanced finish. A pleasure to drink!

Very dark still; aromatically generous with plum preserve, dusty red cherry, spice, saddle. A spike of old wood, must, slightly vegetal, oak, dill, coffee, pretty impressive. On the palate this is full, long, and complex. The oak mixes with distinct earthiness underneath gorgeous acidity and some funky cherry tones. Pretty classic! Amazingly, this showed very compact and some TCA taint the next day. Either way, this is drinking great and isn't going anywhere for a while.
