Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Sunday, June 28, 2020 - Very similar notes to the last bottle three years ago.
Still very dark. Takes a t least one hour of aeration.
Has further changed from the primary fruit stage to a stage where some drying Tannins become more obviously. Made in a modern style with dark fruits, fullbodied and a upcoming adstringency. The last point might become a problem for drinkability (balance) with further aging.
But it seems to have gained some more weight and definitely more complexity nevertheless.
Just lacking some acid to merit a higher score.
Will keep in good shape at least for another decade.
Excellent QPR.
