1-011. Bought a case of 12 at an auction earlier this month for EUR 28 a bottle.; scored 94 pnt in Wine Spectator in 2013, just 1600 cases made. Lovely smell of eucalyptus, menthol, laurel, later on also cherry, tabac, plum, liquorice, clove and a hint of vanilla. We found the smell more pronounced than the taste was - still a bit closed, but splendid glass with the home-made fries and steak, our typical Sunday night dinner.

Beautiful aromas of dark red cherry, tobacco, and grilled herbs. Firm tannins have some bite, but aren't too forbidding. The palate is dry, with concentrated cherry and a touch of earth. Nice length.

Maturing nose with a bit off dried fruit, cherries, dry wood, dark chocolate and a bit of tobacco. Dry on the palate with a medium acidity, medium+ body, medium tannins and a medium intensity. Lacks a bit of acidity and focus to be really exciting, also somewhat short and warm on the finish.

Perfect now, fine balanced medium bodied wine, good acidity, mellow tannin.
