Deep garnet purplish almost opaque in the glass. Powerful aromas of black & red fruits; plums, currants, & cassis integrated with floral & leafy notes, some smoke & cigar box. It’s dense on the palate but felt disjointed vs the nose. Medium to full bodied, firm and grainy tannins with a dry finish of bay leaf and subtle baked berries. This definitely require more time in the cellar to unfurl its potential if there is any. Note: left overnite, palate & finish improved to finer tannins & finish

Classic in style, the wine is more interesting on the nose with its herb, tree leaf, flowers, smoke and bright red fruit nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with a piquant red berry, olive and dark cocoa mid-palate and finish, the wine will be better with at least another 6-7 years in the cellar.

This is a sweet, soft, polished, medium-bodied wine. Forward with bright cherries and black raspberries, licorice and just a hint of espresso, the tannins are soft and the finish has a bright, plummy appeal.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting and Winemakers' Dinner (Beurs van Berlage / Eden Hotel): Trade tasting, brief note. Good density and richness, ripe fruit, but the tannins are on the tough side for the weight of fruit, rather firm extraction, long but drying finish.
