  2008 Burg blind tasting. Very strict, more a struggle than a joy, drying tannins, stinging acidity.

  Rock n roll. Fuck yeah.
  
  Lotta structure. Over three hours the nose stayed strong and powerful, while the palate went from tannic to mellow.
  
  Fantastic wine.

  PNP and tracker over many hours
  
  Beautiful nose of dark red fruit, chocolate and maple that blows off with time, candied orange peel, a touch of spice and earth. Slightly brooding body with dryish tannins and a dryer finish. Still too young and potential upside from here

  Dense with cool red and black fruits. Some orange peel which evolves with time to a really piercing orange note. Palate is similar with deep and tangy fruit, with a spicy finish with some licorice. And very long! This is great but I assume still very young.
