    November 16, 2016 - Blindverkostung mit Freunden. #5 Was für ein tolles Bouquet! Viele am Tisch haben den Wein ins Bdx verortet. Schwarzkirsche, Leder, Tabak, Zigarrenkiste, Graphit, Süßholz, Mokka, Zartbitterschokolade und Veilchen. Am Gaumen noch frisch und mit animierender Säure, ziseliertem, feinkörnigem Tannin und mittlerem Körper. Wahnsinnig elegant und sehr fein, mit Noten von Kirschen, Pflaumen, Zedernholz, Pfeffer, Leder, Süßholz und Veilchen. Sehr langer Nachhall. 12,5 Vol-%. Der hat sich wunderbar entwickelt.

    Blind tasting with friends. #5 What a wonderful bouquet! Quite a few tasters thought this was a Bordeaux. Black cherries, leather, tobacco, cigar box, graphite, licorice, mocha, dark chocolate and violets on the nose. Still quite lively acid with finely chiseled, fine-grained tannins and a medium body. Very refined and brilliantly sophisticated, with flavors of cherries, plums, cedar wood, black pepper, leather, licorice and violets on the palate. Very long-lasting finish. 12.5% abv. This wine has seen a great development and has still some life left. Third place, as wine of the night. Simply great.
