Not ready yet, would love for the tannins to be integrated a bit more. Lovely Bordeaux blend, good dark fruit, earth, quite intense. Score is for drinking now.

Big and bold wine still looks and tastes young. Black fruits, plums, vanilla, earthy notes and spices. Long finish, big tannic backbone still. Would definitely recommend a big piece of meat with this one. I feel like it would benefit from some more ageing to mellow the tannins down a little bit. Which were a bit too bold for me at this point.

BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam, NL): Very nice BDX blend from Chile. Medium+ intensity, with plum black currant, spices, quite some oak. Medium+ acidity, medium+ (integrated) tannins, long finish

dark core, red rim Earthy, savoury nose Fresh on palate with dark fruit. Very good acidity, firm powdery tannins Dense but very elegant, Vivacious and intense This needs a couple of years to open up. Tastes like it has a much longer life than either the 09 or 07.
