Thursday, September 24, 2009 - Impromptu tasting @ Peter Z. (Belgium): A wine that left me open-mouthed. In utter confusion. Enormous amarone-like sweetness and draconian concentration. Huge blobs of plum marmelade, chocolate covered cherries, 'katjesdrop' (~ sweet licorice), cinnamon. Showy and pretentiously perfumed. No finesse at all, but brutal force, concentration, complexity and structure. This wine is a monster!
One tiny problem: while I am writing this, I keep wondering and still do not know whether I actually LIKE it....
