July 19, 2011 - From the colour alone one could tell that the wine was too young as it as ruby with some hints of blue - after more than ten years in bottle. Nose is tight, rather focused with ripe plummy fruit, blue flowers and sweet spice. Also tones of raw meat and a ferrous note. In the palate it has beautiful balance between ripeness of fruit on the one hand and acidity on the other. Tannnis are of perfect ripeness and quality and completely unitrusive. So the wine is perfectly drinkable now but aromatics have not opened yet, nor tertiary aromas have developed. Old world in style needing time to show its full potential.
