In the bouquet dark berries, chocolate and autumn impressions. On the palate some chocolate and also firm acidity and still coarse and drying tannin. On the evening itself this was the most disappointing bottle, but since this was my bottle, I took the leftover home and drank it over the next two days…… and the wine improved considerably. On the first evening I scored it 91 - 92. Two days later that was 94 – 95+. Have one more bottle and I will not drink it before 2025.

Beautiful tasting of a wine with a great potential. None of the bottles showed signs of being too old.
