"Molto maturo mostra note di amarene, fragole, datteri e cedro in pezzi. Riduttivo il profilo secondario che priva di freschezza la matrice. Corpo medio, tannini poco mordenti ed un finale di media scorrevolezza. Bevi ora."

"Vivace ed esuberante mostra note rosse che si raccontano nei sentori di lamponi, ribes, prugne rosse e fiori rossi pressati. In sottofondo un leggero accenno alla buccia di limone smorza il profilo red e ne aumenta la complessità sensoriale. Corpo medio, tannini rotondi ben maturi ed un finale luminoso di buona bevibilità . Disteso e piacevole. Bevi ora."

"Delicate scents of wild herb, red berry and rose waft out of the glass along with a whiff of camphor. It's racy and linear, offering juicy sour cherry, raspberry and star anise framed in taut refined tannins and vibrant acidity. It closes on a savory, almost salty mineral note. Best through 2025. Kerin O'Keefe"

"(2004) This 13.5% alcohol wine spends an extended period (over two years) in wood: 80% is one- and two-year-old French and American oak, and 20% is large Slovenian casks. It is much darker and denser in colour, and more modern in many ways, with coffee and toast and a big, prune-like character. Again a real sweetness of fruit on the palate suggesting raspberry and cherry, and then some kirsch and plum with notes of spices and leather. It has a dense, chewy mid-palate, and the soft, coffeeish flavour re-emerges, with softish tannins and balanced acidity."
