Opened a 3-litre bottle from 2007 that I had been sitting on for too long, I thought. But how wrong I was! A true delight that kept developing for hours after opening and decanting. So happy it hadn’t tipped over, but probably would very soon. Brownish when opened but then turned into lovely ruby colour. Unbelievable!

(zh m Lu+Han) tiefes Rubinrot, leicht oranger Rand, junger Anblick für 11 J. Zedern und Leder in der Nase, recht wenig Frucht. Wird immer besser: Am Gaumen angenehm, reif, fruchtbetont, gut verschmolzen, weiche Säure und Tannine, leichte Kirschnote und etwas Anis, mittlerer Körper, mittlere Länge ohne viel Schmelz. Auf dem Niveau wohl noch 2-3 Jahre.

Wow! Last bottle of this and it really saved its best for the end! Dusty earthiness, iron and red fruit. There’s that residual sweetness on the finish. Delicious.

Beautiful outdoor wine with integrated tannins and body.
Fruity body with 6.5 tannins with a nice dry finish that comes through. The two dynamics contrast nicely and the finish lasts.
