Saturday, April 27, 2013 - Red colour fading to orange at the rim. The nose was incredible: an ethereal mix of red fruits, forest, perhaps a bit of spice, it entranced and made an indescribable impression. The palate started out light and thin but put on weight over the two hours it was in our glasses. At its worst it came across a bit hollow, at its best it showed wonderful elegance and complexity. There were many changes over the course of the night. Not the best wine I have drank, but certainly memorable and enjoyable. And the main thing was that my wife enjoyed it and helped make her birthday celebration special.
