Community Tasting Note

Caruso Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 18, 2017 - Deep ruby to the rim without any signs of age. From my personal cellar, which is reaching 18-19°C in summer, with winter temperatures of 16°C, this is showing very well. Of course wine is maturing faster here, than in textbook conditions, but not worse. This one is opening with a fruity nose, displaying concentrated red and dark berry fruits, sweaty animal skin, that nearly disappears within 30 min. without decantation, cedar, tobacco, minerals. On the palate it is still quite tannic. The tannins are round and balanced by the corresponding amount of fruit. So over all the 98 points from TWA in 2004 seem quite appropriate if some more tannins have been shed. And I'm optimistic that in 10 more years the tannins are even more integrated and the fruit is still bright and shiny. So my score for well cellared examples of this wine are conversative 96+ points. -2030+
