Bottle in perfect condition, but only arrived the morning before the tasting so wasn't able to settle before being decanted (approx 24 hours before tasting).

Red berries and cherries on the palate. Spicy! Fairly simple but enjoyable. Good.

Paler than the 2000. Smells sweet and powerful, congruent palate. Finishes a bit short at first but fills out later.

50% opacity, dull red. Rich nose, red fruit. Lovely full mouthfeel, red fruit - redcurrant, soft tannin, still needs time.
