Eine ganz grossartige Flasche! Malz, Banane, Karamell, Zedern und Cassis in der Nase. Sehr dunkelfruchtig. Am Gaumen wieder dunkle/schwarzbeerige Frucht, auch Banane und Malz. Samtige Textur, tolle Präsenz am Gaumen, frische Säure und nach wie vor sehr präsente Tanninstruktur. Ein ganz grossartiger Merlot in bester Reife und mit weiterem Potenzial.

More or less fully mature. A slight whiff of mouldy cellar initally but that fades, revealing mature red and blue fruit - cassis, cherry, blueberry, plum - just a hint of remaining tannins and quite a lot of forest floor and decaying leaf. A touch of sandalwood, leather and iron. Medium body, acidity and lenght. Very good for what it is, but not up there with the greats. This bottle more evovled than last, so some bottle variation at play here. One more bottle left in the cellar. Should probably drink it within a year or two, but might also be fun to wait a decade and revisit.

Gone beyond repair. Nice wine back in the day buys time to toss, unfortunately.

Dark color and classic bdx flavors, with a nice dry finish.
