Dark garnet colour, some sediment. Ripe fruit, coffee, chocolate, meaty notes, complex spice notes, liquorice, and pebbly minerality, with medium-level acidity, fine, firm, dry tannin and very good length. Ripe, full, firm, dense and concentrated. It is beyond question that this wine is outstanding in its category, objectively, yet it left me longing for more freshness, and the dryness of tannin raised some concerns. Drink or hold.

Grüner Veltliner & Super Tuscan Tasting (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Tasted blind. Mature appearance, sombre colour; deep and mature nose, spicy and cedary; rich and spicy palate, firm tannins covered in flesh, meaty and spicy flavours, beef stock; cold tea on the finish, very good length. Completely ready.

Grüner Veltliner & Super-Tuscans @ VINEUM (Vineum, Rotterdam): Tasted blind @ VINEUM. This wine had a tough job in the same flight with the 1997 Solaia and 1999 Solaia, but held up pretty well! Would not mind to drink this again in the (near) future...
