Weekly tasting group #223; Old World versus New World (@ AH): In the bouquet dark forest fruits, dark olives, a firm amount of toast and alcohol. On the palate in fact the same: dark berries, toast, chocolate, a considerable amount of sweetness, but also a firm amount of good acidity and some heat in the finish. This wine can last for another 5+ years and it might improve a bit. 89 – 91…. I have some doubts about the balance… Time will tell.
