Friday, December 30, 2011 - My 16th Wedding Anniversary Dinner with Friends (Home): A great bottle that was opened after we had another 5 different wines, hence it was not fully appreciated. Nevertheless everyone of us noticed how great it was. Luckily, there was one glass left, so I could taste it the morning after. Very dark, opaq/purple. An amazing combination of excellent new oak, ultra-pure blackberry fruit, sweet spice, coffee, mint and minerality, in a rare coexistence of skillful winemaking and terroir character. Full-bodied with ultra-rich, yet amazingly fresh fruit, massive but excellent tannins and a high acidity that offers balance and vibrancy to this blockbuster. Endless aftertaste. One of the 5 top wines I had in 2011.
