Präsentiert sich sehr schön, hatte mit einem deutlich reiferem Wein gerechnet. Aus der Flasche strömt ein tief dunkelviolettes Kraftpaket, ganz viel Extrakt, noch immer stramme Tannine, aber gut eingebunden. Die 14% Alkohol sind spürbar, aber ebenfalls nicht übermäßig. Durchaus sperrig am Anfang entwickelt er sich duchaus nuanciert im Glas.

Tasted this year ago and at that time this was too shut down and raw. Today the second bottle is much better. Wine is full of cinnamon, pepper, chocolate, black tea and liqourice. Very open and delicious after 1 hour of decanting. The downside is high alcohol (14,5%) contect that shows. Some might call it warm mint-chocolate feel, but for me its just too much alcohol. South of France 2007 means full bodies, but I prefer less ooze & booze.

Tief purpurrot, bunte Mischung aus Fliederbeere, Bleistift, Fleischtönen und Garriguehauch an der Nase, am Gaumen dicht, pfeffrig-würzig mit langem Abgang, etwas scharf, sonst toller Trinkwein!
