This wine completely changes with time, recommend decanting for at least an hour before drinking. Reasonably sweet red. Alcohol and straw with notes of blueberry on the nose. Deep crimson in colour with some bricking. Smooth with liquorice and alcohol on the palate. Lingering tannins. Would suspect it won't last too long from here.

My last bottle and what a pleasure it is. Expressive bouquet with ripe dark forest fruits, sweet spices like cinnamon, mint and vanilla. On the palate a mixture of ripe dark forest fruits, sweet licorice and sweet spices. Some sweetness, but also pleasant acidity and soft and round tannin. Really lovely wine and the 15.1% ABV id no problem at all. Completely ready now.

Beautiful dark purple color with a nose of jam and leather. Surprisingly the palate yields hints of blueberry compote with soft tannins and luxuriant finish. Sad to say this was my last one.

In eerste instantie pruimen, krenten, rode kool. Later tonen van vlees, maggie en balsamico. Mooie wijn, nu drinken!

Good wine, drink now. Tasting notes of others were accurate, if you like big wines you will like this one.
