This one just never disappoints me. With age it becomes more comparable to a Southern Rhone wine, though it always leaves me the impression to have more matter than flavour.

The wine was opened 5 hours before drinking and that really opened it up - and that is the reason for the higher rating - we had it this time with a steak - and a great combination - see also my last rating from 5. november 2016.

Ages is showing - the nose give you a bit black currant - but apart from that not really a lot - the palette is still very balanced - blackcurrant is still very visible - you also get some pepper especially on the aftertaste which is not very pronounced. We had the wine with a homemade pizza but I think it would be perfect with a steak. The wine is shooing its age - its still drinking well - but time to drink it - solid 90.

Dark purple colour. Black currant, cherries, a little astringent and higher acidity, some smoke. Spicy, pungent. With time becomes smoother.
