Finally, this wine got into the zone.
The savory austerity and rugged masculinity melted into the wine to reveal a lovely balanced (and maybe even elegant) beauty.

Still quite purple in colour and fruit. Whiffs of baking slices, flowers, menthol and warm pastry as well.
Excellent balance, very easy to like. Not overly complex nor deep, yet highly enjoyable!

Quite stubborn after pop-n-pour.
Black olive, ink and coffee grounds.
Check tomorrow whether balance is restored.

After 3 days, black fruit emerged, and balance was restored indeed. Up a notch.

A slightly off-vintage, but Togni reigns as ever!
God, this is drinking great right now.... Perfectly ripe and mature, juicy cherry-blackberry sorbet, deppened by delicious nuances of black olive, smoke, damp earth and cedar.
Glowing with quality AND promise....
WOTW.

Red Rhone Blend more

2007 Rhones drying out? Not this one!
Wonderfully balanced and complex, this oozes luxurious notes of cassis and blackberries, classy leather, brown spices, smoked ham, pinches of black pepper and sandalwood. Juicy, fresh, classic hedonism.
Marvelous.

Wonderful balance, powerful nose and palate, showing lovely aromatics and complexity.
BLack cherries, charred oak, truffled salami, peppery beefy BBQ-notes, coffeebeans.
Ready to drink now - the dark fruit is slowly giving way to complex nuances of spicebox - but nowhere near fading or drying out yet.

WOnderful, hazy salmon colour.
Lovely, pretty nose of bruised apples, quince jelly, strawberreis and orangeblossom. Focussed, linear and refreshing on the palate, which is a little more citrusy - and a little less interesting - than the nose. Didn't notice any oxidation or whatsoever.
A very pleasant surprise!
