Community Tasting Note
Bandreas Likes this wine:
Sunday, October 28, 2018 - Color has further darkened, now 18ct. gold to light amber.
On the nose: bee's wax, lanolin, wood polish with underlying acidity.
On the palate this impression continues, on the front and middle palate it is nicely balanced, round with good complexity; then a sharper acidic note creeps it which stays and the wine develops pronounced age notes with some bitter tones.
Unless there is considerable bottle variation it looks like this wine is fully mature and needs to be drunk.
