December 5, 2018 - Part of lot CH9 which I acquired out of curiosity and .. CH9 never fails me !
Drank over period of two days. Day one = 2/3 in decanter. Day two = 1/3 pop and pour.
First day, an absolute abundance of crunchy black fruits. Slightly more timid on day two.
Colour - nice vibrant red, somewhat sexy and very inviting ...
Taste - very juicy, bit harsh now and then, but intriguing, crispy, black forest fruit, crunchy
Finish - surprisingly light, though 14.5% alcohol, it doesn't feel like it, slightly dry.
Very well made ... paid 28 Euro for this bottle, would happily buy again.
Drink now ( but decant ) or keep cellared for at least a couple of more years.
