(not blind): Black ruby, brilliant, fat tears. Green pepper in the nose, dark fruit behind. Plump body, sappy smoky dark fruit. Very long finish, rather velvety. Score: 50 + 5 for optic + 14 for boquet + 8 for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 95.

| COMMENTS: |
(not blind): Brilliant ruby, fat tears. Slightly rotten dark fruit, bit alcoholic. Medium body, liquorice, powerful tannins, bit thin in the end. Medium finish. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 13 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 91.
Small ISO standard tasting glass. Magnum, needs therefore may be some more ageing.

| COMMENTS: |
Beautiful brick red color with no apparent clearing towards the rim. An amazing un-restrained nose of multi layers of sweet black fruit with delicate perfumed aromas of forest fruit and earthy elements. Very concentrated and focus yet never losing its elegance. The wine is well balanced by good acidity and silky tannins add structure to this piece of beauty. With 15 years of aging shreding all possible hard corners, this bordeaux is totally delicious and a great pleasure to drink now.
