WSET 2 group tasting (My place, Utrecht, NL): Better on the nose than on the palate, but still improved the next day. Medium intensity, velvety with leather, black fruit, plum, black berry, black cherry, ceder, cassis, bell pepper. Medium+ acidity, high (quite rough) tannins, medium+ finish. Or not perfectly stored in the past or already over the top

Another bottle of this.Wonderful nose of black fruit,truffle,tobacco,earthy notes ... Very racy and silky,perfectly integrated acidity,but with still slightly firm tannins on the never ending finish.Nearly immortal in terms of aging potential.

Super-premium Bordeaux Tasting (at my home): The wine has a truffle, earth, plum, tobacco leaf, and plum nose. Round dusty tannins, firm, old-school, classic edge, and a tannic spine. Generally, the wine is well-structured, round tannins, delicate sandalwood, and cigar flavors, with notes of red fruits dominating. The wine has earthy aromas, such as black truffles, moist forest floor, and ash, with subtle red fruit, chewy meaty flavors, and a finish of dates, ripe red fruit, and leather. Still early in its drinking window and can age 10-15 years more.
