An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): This bottle was given some more air time compared the one of my previous note and it was bought in another shop. The bouquet showed dark berries, smoke and was a bit rustic. On the palate dark fruits, still very reticent and youthful, firm acidity and tannin. My guess is that the wine will develop for the better over the next 10 - 15+ years. 93++

An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): Dark berries and smoke in the bouquet. On the palate juicy dark berries, firm but good acidity and tannin and some bitterness, a slight touch of sweetness. Beautiful wine but still quite locked. (Later in the line-up of today the same wine again from another source; both wines tasted blind.) 93+

Deep purple garnet red rims. Intense seducing blackberry blueberry elderberry some notes of pencil and leather. Full bodied with perfect balanced tannins and excellent length

A year ago I thought I have to wait for 1-2 years, and I was right. Better today, even after only short decant. Will develop further, still many green notes but also durker fruit. Great in mouth, powerful.
