Deep red color with purple hue. Aromas of black fruits, spices, black earth and smoke. Quite austere at first, 30 minutes of air really changed the wine and its strength soften to let the fruit express itself with a silky mouthfeel. Also had notes of spices and rocky soil flavors. Medium acidity level and a slightly smoky finish. Very good (89)

Dark color with slightly orange rim. Evolution of the wine is more detectable on the nose with of dry fruits and leaves, old wood and tobacco. Flavors of plums and date are added to the aromas I had. In decline, can’t deny it, but did well at the table. Good (87)
