Purple-red color with ruby tones. Aromas of good intensity where fruits of various types stand out with good maturity and expressiveness, flowers, sweet spices, toasted touches and scrubland. In the mouth it is flavorful, the palate with good balance and quite round, also shows liveliness and character, the fresh and soft tannins, the aftertaste quite well with almost all the aromas of the nose. Long aftertaste, with good persistence.

Bright garnet. Dried cherry, candied rose, smoked meat, tobacco and a hint of fruitcake on the nose. Smooth and pliant in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet cherry pie, red currant and vanilla flavors that show no rough edges. Fully mature but still delivers good energy. The very long, smoky finish echoes the tobacco and vanilla notes. Drinking window: 2021 - 2026

This has matured into a beefy richness, tasting a bit like braised brisket with earthy carrots, still holding some floral notes in its black fruit. It has the soft ripeness of the 2000 vintage; for drinking soon, perhaps with brisket.
