a perfect bottle, bottom neck, cork came out easily; made already a good impression right after opening, after two hours decided to decant for 30 minutes.
subtle nose of red fruit, maybe sour cherry; the first sip was a wowww on the palate, an amazing combination of intensity and mildness; vivid, broad, good structure with very long finish; mild exotic fruit, intense berry juice. had it with easter diner; almost felt like resurrection. 97+
