Flower day - decanted off a small amount of sediment and then put back into cleaned bottle. Dark garnet core out to a lighter garnet edge. Nose of savoury herbs (mostly rosemary with some oregano) along with dark fruit, a bit of bottle stink and some cabbage (uh oh!) - leaving it in the glass for a bit before tasting it.

This acustic entry level wine aged beautiful. Dark fruit, some hints of sices like licorice, a fresh acidity and good balance. Much better than i expected after 13 years.

Kleur: Diep opaak donker rood Aroma / bouquet: Donker en zwaar bouquet. Donker fruit, zwarte bessen en bramen. Frisse kruidigheid, mint en laurier. Smaak / Afdronk: Vol, krachtig. Zachte zuurgraad, prachtig gerijpte tannines. Uitstekende balans. Afdronk: bovengemiddeld lang. Algemeen / potentieel: Prachtige, smaakvolle wijn met een sublieme verhouding tussen prijs en kwaliteit. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 90/100

From 75cl. Don't think this has improved; 2007 was always a relatively soft Acustic and I prefered it in its first flush of vibrant fruit. Now a bit shapeless. (85-)86

Decent. Better after an hour decant. Fresh berry. Beaujolais-esk if that makes sense
