Comparing to the tasting more than 1.5 year ago here the wine developed significantly. There is much less fruit and more nuts and coffee tones and also the acidity is no longer there. I thought on the last tasting that I had the last bottle but this one was found in my cellar when cleaning up. For the bottle pic please refer to the previous tasting. I am adding the pic from Spain from October 2004 when we tasted the wine for the first time wit my friend.
