95 Points

Saturday, May 12, 2018 - Garnet without any signs of aging at age 15. First a bit reduced nose of black currant, cherries, charcoal and herbs as well. On the palate thick and concentrated but not unbalanced like some british reviewer wrote. The tannin is present, but round and smooth and acidity delivers enough freshness. Very long. It is a bit dominated by the fruit chord. If it adds more complexity and elegance after longer airation (it doesn't), I would give it an even higher score. Now: 5/13/18/9
This should develope effortlessly for ten to twenty years if optimal stored. 96

Postscript: After 15 hours the last 0,1-0,2 l show signs of oxidation (no decantation). So maybe my drinking date given above is a bit optimistic. 95
