Community Tasting Note

mxfnck Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 25, 2023 - Bucket List tasting at Wijnkoperij Okhuysen: Quite developed. Dark colour, deep crimson.

Aroma's of toffee, karamel, black coffee, cedar, eucalyptus. Very foresty and animalistic. Super complex, could sit and ponder these aroma's all night. The only thing: where's the fruit? Will that come once it opens up?

Sizzling tannins, so vibrant. Linear texture, a pleasant hardness. The eucalyptus-tone gives it an underlying freshness, lift and levity that sets a Great BDX apart from a good one.

From the first sip it's apparent that you're in the company of celebrity, of greatness. If there had been more red fruit, this would've been 97+ points for me. Could the fruit still develop in a few years?
