Cigar, leather and blood on the nose; the palate has some nice sweet fruit and high acidity. Classic, old school style, good balance, more on the slim side. Mature but no hurry to drink. Needs quite some time in the decanter to open up. 17/20

This screems Nigl loud and clear with ripe yellow fruit and petrol and vibrating minerality. On the palate it's deep and full bodied, oily but at the same time almost tingly. Maybe not that complex but beautifully balanced and very long. An excellent vintage of this classic now ready to drink. 17.5/20

Coravin taste. Lots of oak on the nose. Creamy, modern, oaky palate with sweet black fruit. Not showing a lot of Bordeaux. Hm. 14.5/20
