Monday, December 10, 2012 - Surprisingly open on the nose for being fairly young.
Not an overdose of licorice on the palate, which was a surprise, instead, nice, elegant, somewhat restrained but enjoyable cherries, held back by obvious tannins.
Light to medium bodied.
Day 4 I decanted the wine and after this the wine showed considerably more power and the licorice became more appearant. Josefz desription of a fist in a velvet gloved then seemed fitting.
