An ambitious bottling from this negociant. On the nose, black fruit, such as bramble, black cherry, vanilla, cedar, hint of baking spice and smoke. Full bodied, medium acidity, medium length. Chewy and unyielding tannins. Slightly over extracted for my taste. Probably could use a bit more time.

Late Oct 2010: deep purple red color; started very restrained, after a while opened up a bit and released some aromas/flavors of cherries, blackberries und blueberries; slightly sweet on the palate; medium/ful body; weakly tannic.
Seemed too young and restrained. Better leave him alone for a 3-6 years then try again.

Early Feb 2012: deep black red color; restrained nose with little cherry and vanilla impressions; massive tannins everywhere in the mouth.
Much too young for a real enjoyful consumption. Wait at least another five years before even consider to open the next bottle.
