Deep garnet in color. Rich knows of bing cherries, tobacco, and a hint of menthol. Lovely tastes of bing cherries, espresso, tobacco, and hint of earth. Pronounce acidity and pure fruit. Nice structure and long finish. At its peak but should hold a drink well for another 3 to 5 years.

Decanted for 1 hour. Initially closed and slightly tannic. After one hour the nose blossomed with dark red fruit and earth. On the palate this was a dark and brooding wine, with an abundance of dark red fruits, spice, juicy acidity, and well integrated tannins. The mouthfeel was medium plus, and the finish was smooth and long. Definitely has several years to go.

Direkt nach dem Öffen probiert. -Hat am Anfang schon den Geruch von feuchtem Leder. Also wohl wahrscheinlich schon knapp über dem Zenit - Bouquet: Hat keine Frucht mehr. Alkohol, fast leichter Weinbrandt. Konfitüre von Plaume, Kirsche und Brombeere. - Vorne immer noch Pflaume, allerdings eher die Schale als die Frucht. Dann Tannine und hinten etwas Torf mit Alkohol.

Whoa. Heavy duty, hot, mouth numbing. Very good if you're in the mood for it. Had another 10 years in it.
