mimik Likes this wine: 93 points
October 30, 2016 - Medium light to dark brown color. Nose of walnuts,caramel and dried prunes. This is so understated on the palate, with such balance and finesse. Similar replays of prunes with a ever so slight acidic punch to maintain some freshness. Short finish but just incredible to have had the opportunity to taste such a wine thanks to Doktap. 92-93 points. It stayed alive for well over two hours. Such a honour to taste this.
