This was rich and ripe, with some earthy forest floor, spice, dark cherry, still some noticeable tannins, but it didn't wow me. I'm ready to believe the hype, but there is much better wine out there for much less.

Utregs Wijnhuis tasting Exclusief (Utrecht, NL): This is of course insanely overpriced on the secondary market. Given its pedigree (a fine but nothing special NSG 1cru vineyard) a good wine, given its current price tag (around €400-500 I believe) it does not make sense. Still nice to drink, quite ripe with deep cherries, black currant, oak noticeable. Medium+ acidity, medium+ finish. Whole bunch, 50% new wood.

This has a lot of oak, but also is really good. If you are less fond of oak, give this another 5-10 years. Dark fruited, still rather primary, medium acid but still lots of energy. The color is on the dark end of the pinot spectrum.

Drank in Hongkong. Purplish, inky on appearance. Extracted note, rustic, very overripe fruits, with a tinge of sour plums. The palate did express NSG with it's rusticity, acidity and the rough tight tannins, but while there was sufficient and vibrant fresh red fruit, I felt this was a little extracted. I enjoyed it more on the second day, where everything seemed slightly more resolved. The tannins softened, the fruits was more enjoyable and the structure still in place.

This had a great nose of dark berries, raspberry blueberries, and a silky palate which has structure but with fairly resolved tannins. Delicious!
