Viel zu viel Bretanomyes, welche den Wein, der am Anfang des Höhepunktes steht ruiniert. Leider hatte ich diese Überdoses bereits um 2014 auf der Prowein bei dem Jahrgang 2007 so wahrgenommen, ansonsten dunkelfruchtig und ein Kanditat für 90 Punkte. Schade! :( Höhepunkt: 2023-2035? Trinken: 2016-2031? Tag 1: 82, Mit Luft am zweiten und dritten Tageleganter, dennoch auch da zu viel Bret :-( Tag 4: um 88, am besten. Die letzten 150 ml waren schön zu Filetsteak.

Perfect cork. Clean nose (previous wine was corked) :) Wow, this is ripe. More pruney/jammy nose than previous wine, a 2010 Bordeaux. This needs meat. I'm guessing there is a little syrah in this. Quite a smokey note to it. Very good. Big and powerful but still quite French with a very dry finish. This is really good. I will decant and having with rack of lamb, which I think it will match really well.

Reddish tinge , slightly bricking. Little sediment. Aromas of cassis, pepper and spice (like faint cloves and orange peel), charcoal/ash. Flavours of cassis, and black fruits with a bit of black tea on the finish for some bitterness. More like dried fruits ... fruit has lost that plump sweetness and is more dried out. Some mineral and sage/herb elements. Some drying tannins, medium to medium minus acidity. Overall, could have a bit more oomph or heft .... seems lacking a bit, but still tasty and smooth. It is what it is .... what it lacks a bit in complexity, it makes up for in smoothness and tastiness

Antrinkbar! Schwarzkirsche, schwarze Johannisbeere, Rauch, Tanin, unglaublich dominant, das wird eine lange Reise, die nun endlich begonnen hat.

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 5% Grenache. Just getting into its stride and beginning to drink well.
