In the glass still very dark, navy, glossy. Regardless of the 20 years it is still a very young wine with the barrel (sandal wood aroma) fully integrated with the fruit. Full of glistering mix of black and red fruits, blueberry cake, blackcurrant, lingonberry and dark chocolate. The exquisite bouquet is full of tertiary flavors: dried lavender, irony soil. The taste is very rich and the wine is well built with a velvet structure and a very long and mineral finish. A true collector's piece. What a great wine !
