London Blind Challenge (Vinotecca, London.): Blind. Dense red. Fortified. Very Maury and pretty certain this is Mas Amiel. Very similar to, but just a shade younger than, the 05 I've had open in the fridge since Christmas. Not sure what the current release is. Maybe 07/08? Could do with being served a little cooler. ***

Donkerrood, paars, tranend. In de neus bramen, kersen, rozijnen en provencaalse kruiden, wat prikkelend door de alcohol. Vol van smaak met kirsch, jammig bosfruit en frisse zuren. Veel minder zoet dan ik had gedacht. Wat branderige, lange afdronk. Maar eens de proef op de som genomen en de wijn geproefd in combinatie met pure (80%) Peruaanse chocolade... en inderdaad, dat kan :-).
Vanwege een verkoudheid nu geen score, later nog eens proeven.

Nice nose here; great palate, this would be superb with chocolate. Dark berried fruits. Delicious, a real crowd pleaser.
