Monday, February 5, 2024 - From magnum.
Very cloudy on appearance, which is expected of an old wine.
On nose, it has waves of dark fruits, rose petals and forest floor. On the palate, it is simply phenomenal. It is obviously sweet, but not sweetened. The mixed berries and rose petal notes keep on reverberating, and are nicely balanced by the vibrant underlying acidity. The fruits / sweetness combo is very lush but without being over-the-top. For the first 2-3 hours, there is almost everything I could ask for but nothing is in excess. The fruits only starts to recede thereafter.
