Community Tasting Note
StefanAkiko Likes this wine:
Tuesday, May 12, 2015 - Two bitter old gentlemen become gentle (Restaurant TANI, Tokyo): Upon opening.
Nose: Lavishly aromatic. Dark watermelon aromas and sporty male perfume towards Aqua di Gio. Decidedly fragrant and refined, however rather unusual from the wine POV. Wet cement and licorice as well.
Superbly balanced with M-body, laser-sharp +++ tannins, licorice galore and still very young. There are a lot of unrealized potentials just waiting to come out. Has enough umpa-umpa to develop for at least ten more years and live long after that.
After 5 hrs decant, the aromatics refined themselves towards dried leaves, some smoked meat and away with the perfume. Palate stayed tight (Som hos flickan från Gränna) throughout the evening and married all foods.
Two more btls to go, next one ~2025.
At overperforming Restaurant Tani.
