Saturday, July 8, 2023 - French theme dinner at Highland. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl 1855. From decanter over 2 hours.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of menthol, polished oak veneer, blackberries, blackcurrant, earth, violets. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), structured high tannins, full body. Meidum+ flavour intensity, with flavours of spice, polished oak veneer, sweet blackberries, blackcurrant, menthol, violet juice, earth. Very long finish.
Excellent quality. Still so much life. Very complex. Lots of freshness.
