(BLIK 1+1+0.5+0.75=3.25) Sehr gute Qualität. Wein ist schön balanciert und harmonisch. Tannine sind fein und wunderbar integriert. Wein Druck im Gaumen ohne überladen zu wirken. Unbedingt dekantieren. Kann getrunken werden, hat noch 1-2 Jahre Reifepotential und dann weitere 10-12 Jahre Lagerpotential.

My first time with this wine. Bought EP as part of a mixed case stored until this year. Opened and decanted Left for an hour before the first taste. Drinking nicely from the get-go but lacks complexity & rather one dimensional. Deep ruby red/ purple, muted on the nose but floral notes, autumn fruits and spice. On the palate rich berries, I'm sure I got blueberries, with super smooth tannins. Lacking in mid-palate nuance. For my taste and if sharing, decant for 2-3 hours. Nice but today this retails at ~£80. I'd be disappointed if I bought it today for that price.

Tried alongside the (sadly corked) 2009. Lovely clean claret flavours of tobacco, earth, cedar, mulberry with slightly prominent acidity.

Served too warm. Underlying wine was decent but distorted.

Great classic claret. Red fruit, leather and cigarbox. Very pleasurable. Top drinking window.
