Nose was a bit shy but opened up over time with notes of cassis, black plums, currants, tar, smoke. This is a very balanced and drinkable wine, and is now at it's climax. Enjoyed drinking with steak and salad followed by french cheese.

Served with grilled beaf (prepared on the "hot stone") and italian cheese. Huge, black, and tannic. Decanted for one hour and still needed more time. Black plums, currants, tar, smoke, and leather were layered in this full bodied powerhouse. This great wine surely needs a few more years in the bottle, but is already very much drinkable right now.

A present from Andreas Scholz (Chief of the restaurant at Russischer Hof in Weimar) - an excellent red wine with a full body and a wide variety of different spices, combnes ideally with a good pepper steak and cheese.
