Tasting notes

Brick-red colour. Much browning. Slightly watery rim. Very mature smell of dried fruits, some oxydation, leather, wood and also some viols. Medium bodied in the mouth. Fading fruitiness. Dried fruits, leather, coffee and slight viols. Medium acidic content and slightly tannic end. Decent length. Still drinks well, but very mature and past it's best.

Brown colour, watery rim. The nose shows olds woods, nuts, dried fruits, oxidative style. Medium bodied in the mouth with hints of old woods and nuts - not unlike a tawny, but of course a dry wine. Highly mature fruit. Only tertiary aromatics. Meium acidity and light tannins in the finish. Still quite good length. Very mature wine. Drink up.

Last of three bottles of this wine I have consumed this summer. This bottle had a brick-red colour. Quite complex smell with hints of nuts, wood, cherries, leather and some dried fruit and slight roses. Less oxydation than the previous bottles. Medium bodied in the mouth. Mature fruit. Leathery, old wood, some cherries. Good acidity and not much tannins left. Quite nice and mature wine worth the price. The best bottle of these three.
