2001 Bernardus Winery Marinus

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, October 19, 2018 - Still pretty tight- could use a few more years to shake off the excess tannin, I liked it better on day three than the previous nights. Day one was pretty rough, tannins out front- lots of dry earth, black cherry, with a gripping finish- power. On day three, the wine softened, showed more fruit, the tannin got in line and went to the finish. A great steak wine. Full bodied, dark fruits, nice progression in the mouth, still feels youthful. I love these old Marinus' to me, they just don't make them like they used to.
