My first DRC :) A very good Burgundy, but no epiphany :) Nose was very decent, good taste, complex, minerality, long finish. Still lots of Tannins, could age several more years.
Perfectly stored and served bottle, drunk out of Riedel "Fishbowl" Glass.
Nice wine, unique experience, but IMHO not worth the price tag...

Oh, what a surprise. We ordered a Half bottle, but the cellar of the "Schwarzer Adler" must be perfect. The bottle came out of the cellar as it was just filled and corked. Young, deep purple color, lots of cassis, no sign of ageing yet. Needs at least 10-20 years to ripen and develop complexity. Bad luck for us....
Closing
Had a very good menu, interesting wines and good conversations with friends. Perfect evening!
