Tasted Saturday, November 2, 2019 by Zweder with 407 views
The first three flights were poured blind.
Flight 4 was a leftover of a small tasting done by others in the afternoon and I took the opportunity to have a quick taste.
Nutty and tertiary with oxidized impressions. Ok acidity. No score.

In the bouquet caramel and marzipan. Same on the palate. Very tasty and a great concentration. A lot of sweetness and there is clear heat from the alcohol, but not everyone seemed to bother. Good acidity as well. I can live with the heat ;-)

Beautiful and luxurious bouquet with dark berries and good oak. On the palate dark berries, dark chocolate, beautiful acidity, powerful and round tannin. Overall a very luxurious wine which is still hiding all its beauty. On the other hand you can imagine all the potential. For tonight 96 and with an upward potential of several points over the next decade (or more). Wish I had a case…. 96++

What an extremely sad story this is. Dark berries and celery in the bouquet. On the palate the same impressions, soy and chocolate. The only explanation I have is that must be a very seriously mistreated bottle. E.g. In the shop window with direct sunlight for a long time. What an extreme pity for this outrageous expensive bottle.

Still a lactic and primary wine with creamy dark berries like blackberries and black currants. On the palate beautifully round tannin, some coffee, chocolate, good acidity and still sticky tannin. Too young now. Try around 2024. For now 90+.

Concentrated bouquet with dark berries, coffee, chocolate, toast and cedar. On the palate a mouth full of youthful and concentrated wine with a lot of dark berries, chocolate and sticky tannin. Still much too young, but a great future ahead. I will probably open my first bottle not before 2025. For tonight 97++

Ripe red and dark berry fruits in the bouquet. On the palate red and dark berries, a lot of sweetness, mild tannin, sweet soy and mild tannin. Although this bottle was quite mature, imho the wine was still a pleasure and very drinkable.

The bouquet is quite mature and shows good garrigue. On the palate red berries, good acidity, some broth (in the positive sense) and juicy and round tannin. Completely ready now and drink soon.

Mature bouquet with dark and red berries, some autumn and rustic impressions. On the palate overall a juicy wine with the same impressions as in the bouquet, a firm amount of sweet licorice and pleasant acidity. Beautiful drinking stage now.
