Note di degustazione
(13.6% alcohol; 6.0 g/l acidity; 3.56 pH): Medium red with an amber edge; less saturated than the 1999 and 1997 vines. More advanced on the nose, showing a distinct empyreumatic aspect to its aromas of smoked plum, roasted meat, underbrush and burning tobacco. Nicely fine-grained but quite dry, with a touch of greenness suggesting incomplete ripeness. A wine of modest sweetness and concentration, with a dusty, drying, edgy finish making it clear that it's in decline. Drink up.

Dark red-ruby. Currant, game, earth, truffle and cedary oak on the nose, lifted by a floral element. Sweet, supple and complex; fat and broad. Nuanced flavors of currant, sassafras, earth, truffle and tobacco leaf. Very impressive, and yet the finish seemed a tad dry-edged next to a couple of wines under the Tikal label: this may well merit a higher score with time in bottle.
