At a restaurant in Königsberg, Alsace. Decanted briefly which I would advise. Extracted, ripe fruit of plum along with green olives and a meaty base. Also sweet spice and liquorish. Precise and detailed aromas. The palate dense with an unexpected acidity structure soft and finely grained tannin. Long and juicy finish. First time encounter and admittedly I am impressed.
A touch tight at first yet still smooth. Opened up after 30 min. Got so much better, richer, smoother. Very delicious and drinkable now with some air. Everyone loved it!

I did not write a note, but this was really nice. Young, yes, but still quite pleasurable already. Despite being a powerful wine there was a certain airiness and a backbone of acidity that elevated the wine:)

Warm, rich, great blackberry and damson fruit. Robust structure. Persistent and straightforward. Drinking now and over the next 10 years.
