Friday, March 24, 2023 - Bordeaux/Bordeaux blend theme over lunch at Asia Grand. Drank in Grassl 1855.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of integrating vanilla oak, blackberries, black cherries, purple boysenberries, dark meat, smokiness. Oak all integrated into the dark fruit on day 2. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of purple boysenberries, blackberries, black cherries. Passing flavours of sour dark plums, spice, cassis, graphite, black tobacco, tar. Long finish.
Very good quality. Complex. Felt that this was on the somewhat young side, and certainly the best is yet to be for this. Maybe another 4-5 years might have served this well. Alas my only bottle as usual.
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Malbec.
