  Beef stock notes, coffee grounds, quite agressive in the nose. A bit better on the palate, surprisingly round, slightly sweet and with a nice length.

  Kleur: Oranjebruin met goudkleurige rand Aroma / bouquet: Expressief, rijp: sherry, noten, maggi-saus, wat jodium, ossenstaartsoep. Super-tertiair maar fantastisch mooi. Snuffelwijn. Smaak / Afdronk: Zacht, prachtige tertiaire tonen, boterzachte tannines, enorme lengte met een uitgesproken bittertje. Algemeen / potentieel: Madeira-achtig, na enige tijd beluchten: port-achtig. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 96/100
