  Dark and brooding on the eye and palate. Was pleasantly surprised by this one.

  Sehr marmeladig . Kein feiner Wein. Zu teuer für das, was er bietet.

  Nice and ripe, if somewhat slightly « heavy ». This bottle indicates 14,0 %. Even better the second day, bottle closed with Stop Oxy System (in the fridge).
  I think, if you wait 1-2 years, it’ll be worth 90-92 points. The often cited « bitterness » is there, but not in a disturbing way. Very recommended even without a meal.
