  Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance medium almost deep intensity, ruby colour with garnet rim. Coarse sediment. Legs.
  Nose medium intensity, with aromas of pencil lead, Pauillac graphite and tobacco, earth, slight mushrooms, dark berries, blackcurrant, blueberries, cassis, old mocha. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, dipping medium+acidity, medium alcohol (13%), structured integrated high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of smoky tobacco, pencil lead graphite earth, dark berries, blueberries, blackcurrant, black cherries, cassis, savoury tertiary mushroom, savoury horse leather and soy sauce. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Very complex. Has the tertiary notes I like. Acidity sensation dipping is worrying though. Drink up sooner.

  Sunday evening, pairing it with pork tenderloin. No decant, just opened the bottle a couple of hours in advance. Deep ruby color. Sweet cherries, mushroom, truffle, espresso, earthiness, vanilla and beautiful warm spices. The nose is sophisticated. Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, med flavor intensity, dry tannins, med finish. Nice sweet berries, pencil lead, vanilla, sweet white pepper spices, slight watery finish. Definitely time to drink with a nose that is more impressive than the mouth. Very subtle indeed.
