I am just loving this wine. Upon opening this it was very closed and not really approachable, but at the 2.5 hour mark it is beginning to come around. Baking spice and dark fruits on the nose, confirmed on the palate. Some leather, tar, raisins, and herbs on the palate as well. Big, dark, and brooding now. Still tannic and a bit hot but there is a nice balance between fruit, earth, and barrel. I would love to try this 7 years from now.

Am Donnerstag geöffnet, dann zugekorkt und Sonntag ausgetrunken. 14 % Alkohol, am Sonntag noch besser als am Donnerstag. Empfehlung
