Developed nose and colour. All warmly rounded. Palate sweetly flowing, which really made the wine. Fully ready, but maybe this will also keep for a long time.

Trüb, leicht orange an den rndern, aber nur sehr gering angesichts des alters. Stoffig,!fruchtig, schmeckt noch sehr jugendlich. Seidige tannine, sehr fein, mittlerer Körper, würze, perfekt balanciert.mittlere Abgang.

Drank over two days. Slightly fizzy when opened perhaps due to a long travel the day before. Very nice the second day. Wet leaves, still plenty of fruit and good acidity. Nice nose, a bit short in the the mouth though.

Like olemski I had the same thought--nice but lacking "succulence"--and maybe a little complexity.
