Saturday, December 2, 2017 - Best bottle - X-Mas Edition (Restaurant 5, Stuttgart): Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
Not decanted, from perfect bottle. Clean, medium intense nose that need time to open up. Unfortunately we did not decant it, so it could not show its full potential and I could only estimate its true greatness: Very elegant, fine tobacco, pencil shavings, cassis, spices, cedar wood and almost not brett/animal notes.
On the palate an amazing experience: The often cited “Boxer with velvet gloves” matches perfectly: Elegance meets pressure and tension! High, perfectly fine and silky tannin, lots of dark and red fruit, combined with wonderful spices, pencil shavings and mineral notes. Masculine, without being raw. Very long, lingering finish. Still young. 96-97.
