  My first taste of this wine did not start well, because of the cork, which literally fell apart to tiny bits and dust, which was impossible to sieve. In the first hour the wine showed no particular character or quality, but with time and air the wine opened and got depth, richness and elegance. Metallic on the nose, black cherries, licorice. On the palate very lively, fresh, spicy. Strong grippy tannins, long dry finish. I wouldn't worry about this one, if I had another bottle in the cellar.

  excellent, 13.5% alc.
  Colour: deep black berry, crimson edges
  Bouquet: black fruits, blueberries, iquorice and aniseed, dusty tannins, coffee/mocha
  Palate: as bouquet, blueberry and raspberry, dark chocolate, white pepper and allspice, big bodied but silky palate, great grippy but soft tannins, uplifted acid and ultra dry long finish. Gorgeous wine.

  Aardse tonen. Vegetaal. Goed te drinken na 3 uur decanteren. Smaak wat vlak. Nog even laten rusten na botteling. Niet te lang meer laten liggen. Zwak in de tanninnes.
