Saturday, April 21, 2018 - A private lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Fully mature appearance, completely bricked through; light and tertiary nose, autumnal, rosehip, nuts and flowers, remarkably fresh and clear; on the palate the attack is quite silky and smooth, the overall profile is elegant and well-balanced, with well-integrated acidity and vestiges of phenolic grip; long and cool finish, tea-like but more green than black. Quite fascinating, but it requires experience with older wines to appreciate this for what it is.
