Another Random Wine Night!: Initially tasted like a cross between a CDP and a Burg. Tertiaries of raisins, dried fruits, herbs, medicine. Frankly, I am struggling to rate this as this is really not my style.

Really dark in colour with a purple rim. Not much of a nose at first, tight and firm. With some time and swirling cherry stones emerge, as well as cherries, mineral notes, smoke, spices. On the palate equally tight but very well structured. Great acidity, polished tannins, very mineral. Powerful, big, cool, with a very long finish. Too young, but very promising. 92-93+(+?)

Still very youthful in colour. After having tasted the 2012 just before, this seems more open and accessible, but only in relative terms. Complex nose - floral, meaty and smoky with dark fruit, cherries and again some notes of iodine. Very tannic and mineral on the palate, powerful, dense and concentrated with ripe fruit. Fresh and vibrant. Fantastic persistence and detail to the finish. Needs time. 93-94+

wijn is niet vlekkeloos, maar laat toch zijn potentie zien, binnenkort nieuwe poging
