  December 13, 2017 - Base 2009, disg.2014.
  At this point one can feel quite a big influence of black grapes. It is more forward than magnum we had alongside. There's rye bread and some raisins, it is distinctly smoky, quite ripe and brooding.

  In fact I liked it at all formats and disgorgements as they hold their consistent style throughout them.
  From this last tasting, we saw, that the vintage 2008 was a bit fresher due to its naturally high acidity, 2009 was riper and suitable for earlier consumption.
  Often a post-disgorgement time plays a more signifficant role than base year or disgorgement date. The longer you cellar them, the more they develop. But they also become more similar if you compare them with their neighbouring base years/disgorgements.
