Very enjoyable, far better than I expected. Like the 06, but with a little less intensity midpalate. Plums and blackcurrant on the nose, with Asian spices and herbs, then a creamy, silky blend of plums, blackcurrants and dark raspberry, very elegant but with good body and length.

My last bottle. A lot deeper than the bottle of tuscan consumed before but sadly had to be rushed a little due to early closing hours in the restaurant. Black fruit and a touch of cigar box and cedar. Very smooth drinking but felt surprisingly heavier than the Poggio Antico Lemartine before it despite being 1.5% abv less

Winespecials Wine Evening (Restaurant Waldhorn, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Gabriel Standard Popped and poured. Clear, deep ruby color. Clean, medium intense nose with some fine, dark fruit, some green pepper. On the palate some good tension, green, unripe notes, medium(-) body. Drinks well, but nothing really exiting here. 88

Farbe super. Wenig Tanin, dann direkt frische Säure und ne grüne Paprika. Etwas Schärfe, sehr kurz. Vielleicht schwarze Johannisbeere, wenn man dran glaubt. Schon klar im Medoc zu verorten und auch ein leckerer Drink zum sehr blauen Steak, aber länger darüber nachdenken möchte ich nicht. Mit der Zeit kommt in der Nase verbrannter Autoreifen dazu und die Säure dominiert. Gut, dass ich den schnell ausgetrunken habe. Nicht schnell genug.
