| COMMENTS: |
Drank a bit young but it show quite promising qualities with good structure and grip. Definately better than the 1996 that I drank side by side with.

| COMMENTS: |
(not blind): Brilliant ruby, black touch. Slightly mineral nose, dark berries hidden underneath. Medium body, intense dark berries, well balanced. Silky tannins in the finish. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 13 (14) for bouquet + 17 (18) for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 92 (94).
Retasted after one day in the open bottle (scores in parentheses): Nose more expressive, rotting leaves and vegetables instead of mineral. Body gained some weight, more fruit in the aftertaste, hint of liquorice.

| COMMENTS: |
(not blind): Dark ruby, nearly opaque but clear, tints slightly the glass, fat tears. Dark berries in the nose, sweet warm fruit. Plump body, powerful tannins mask the acidity, some secondary dark fruit. Long aftertaste, velvety. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 18 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 93.
