Touch of dark cherry, ripe blackberry and some iris on nose, along with forest floor, cigar leaf and cedar. Cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry still discernable on palate with decent depth and freshness. Tertiary forest floor and tobacco leaves along with pencil shavings and hints of pepper. Considering this is almost 30 years old and a second wine it's an impressive showing. Holding up well bit I'd drink up over the next few years to enjoy at it's prime.

Drinking exceptionally well at the moment! Dominated by minty dark fruits, dense and rich on the palate, I'd like to imagine what the first wine looks like!

This one is starting to head downhill. A lot of tertiary aromas, tannins are mostly gone, still some acid. Notes of viola, pepper and pencil shavings. Still very enjoyable, but definietly past it's peak. Nice experience!

Zu Kalbsfilet an Morchelsauce. Der Korken war trocken - liess sich nicht ziehen, sondern zerbröselte komplett, sodass der Wein in den Dekanter abgesiebt werden musste. Anfänglich total verschlossen, öffnete sich erst nach drei Stunden. Dörrpflaume, Waldboden, Leder, Kiesel. Weiche Tannine, mittlerer Körper, schöner Abgang. Ein schöner Margaux - aber wenig Tiefe/Komplexität. Mit den zwei restlichen Flaschen werde ich noch zuwarten!

Loads of cedar on the nose. Primarily red fruits with resolved tannin.
