May 22, 2021 - Decanted for an hour.
Intense cherry-red colour with a high viscosity and slightly coloured tears.
In the nose, the secondary aroma's are dominating. Very lactic. Aroma's of vanilla, "nail varnish" and spices. Also aroma's of ripe cherry.
On the palate, the high acidity is a little bit shocking at first, continued with the presence of lots of tannins.
Aroma's of cherry, lots and lots of cedar, black pepper and cassis with a long finish.
Acidity and tannins are not in balance here and the acidity is overwhelming, which is the reason I am not rating this wine higher than this.
I still have another bottle, will try this again in a few years to see how it developed (although... this bottle is a nuisance to stock with my other wines in my wine fridge and it's in my way. I'll most probably finish it much earlier :-D )405 views
