Friday, October 20, 2023 - Lunch at Bacata. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl 1855.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fine earth, stone mineral dust, blackberries, black cherries, dark red cherries, fine integrated wood, light musky animal and leather. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark plums, blackberries, black cherries, fine earth, dusty crushed stones minerality, pepper spice, meat. Long finish.
Very good quality. Oak from few years ago all nicely integrated in now. Initially was tight and needed quite a lot of air in decanter to open up. Should be slowly entering a good drinking window.
