at taste in Ion, organised by Joyce and Glenn
Powerful, complex. Still lots of tannins, even four hours after opening still clear that this will a lot more time. Rich wine, almost like a Latour.

Showed very well - a very balanced wine, well rounded, pure, elegant. Somewhat exotic Asian spices / anis character. Mouton-like. Long.

Drank well. Classical wine, seductive nose, well balanced and pure. Perhaps a bit short. Time to drink
