Saturday, August 29, 2015 - We joined our neighbours for an elegant end of summer dinner at their house. Food was fantabulous and wine wonderful. The last wine of the evening and sipped after 5+ hours breathing in the bottle. A luscious red with a hint of brownish-orange at the rim. Leather, burnt sugar on licorice, black fruit, some cherries and vegetation on the nose. A massive hit on the palate with subtle tannins. Elegant finish. Everyone was of the opinion that it was a tasty, naughty teenager that would benefit from more education in the cellar. Somewhat disappointing :-(, but we hope to re-visit, say, in 2020 when we think it should be hitting its stride. Did not suck ;-)
