Similar observations to last time I had this. Rich, generous, hedonistic with lots of ripe dark fruit, spices, chocolate. On the palate round and ripe, but with good acidity and tannic grip. Layered and complex, great length. Lovely. 92-94

Starts with quite a tout nose, opens up slowly with dry berry fruits, raspberry, plums, tobacco, earthy notes withhints of smoke.Palate is rich, savoury, with good balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity.Faint hint of volatile acidity with long length.it is only starting to show some maturity.I think it will go for another 15-20 years without any problems.

Expressive on the nose, lots of juicy, ripe fruit, voluptuous, with notes of tobacco, cedar, spice box. Grippy and powerful, well balanced and very very long. Very impressive. Drink or hold. 92-94
