Exceptionally dark and youthful still. Unbelievably Tannic. A behemoth of a wine with glacial development in the coconutty/vanillin dominated oak notes and dark fruit flavours, that are now developing into more candied and cooked fruit flavours. I am rating it 90, because for the sheer dimensions it should probably be rated even higher. I didn't really enjoy it, though, so a bit of the point is lost on me. Why, again, did I keep this in my cellar for more than ten years?

Needs oxygen, but then opens for a powerful garden of spices, fruit and harmony
