Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - Stunningly great wine with wife's cooking and delicious/interesting by itself.
Eye: Red with a slightly browning rim.
Nose: Big. Sour cherries and a light maturity check pop out.
It feels like a very attractive mix of artificial flavouring and old style traditions. We had a long talk about the nose here and found only positive words. Aromas include milk-chocolate, leather, dry tea-leaves, strawberry and tiny tar.
Mouth: Medium bodied, complex, elegant, pure and balanced. Tannins M++ and Acids M++ carry each other entirely for food and post food pleasures. Long, intrinsic, tingling and unbelievably appealing. With a bit more maturity and umpa-umpa, this would have reached VERY high!
Wife's excellent cooking: pork-kimchi-vegetables stew, wagyu (garlic, soy, black pepper) and rice with natto.
Wife: 94p
Will continue to improve. Our last btl. QPR from another planet.
