  very dark red, tight aroma, closed. still a young wine - too early to drink. Very tannic. Should age 4-6 years more for optimal drinking.

A well prepared event, by the winery & the hotel, from the reception and small dishes, throughout the tasting-event itself (and main course), including the very tasty desserts (petit-four), dessert wine, coffee/tea etc.
Positive: We all enjoyed the event which enabled us a 10 years perspective of a major wine of the winery.
Less positive: too many wines, main course could be skipped, too many (so tasty) petit-four...
