  Initially all musty and cedar, but it blew off after about 90 minutes to reveal fairly classic dark Cabernet fruit. Not hugely complex or large scaled, but very appealing and attractive. 89.

  Opened up after decanting 2 hours. Better than the last bottle but not an exceptional wine. Part pair with food. Will hold to day2

  Braucht noch Luft, zeigt sich dann recht fein, rote Frucht, Cassis, Tabak wird aber immer noch vom Holz dominiert. Am Gaumen etwas ambivalent, einerseits mit schöner Struktur, dunklen Beeren und ordentlich Extrakt, aber im Abgang kommt die Säure sehr unangenehm durch. Nicht schlecht, aber da gibt es besseres für das Geld.

  1/19/2016 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine:

  Full nose, dark fruit, coffee and some toasty note, quite a lot of oak initially, touch of tobacco
  LOts of ripe fruit, even a little syrupy, and toasty. Tastes very luxurious and polished. Lacks a little in the middle.
  Towards the end of the bottle the oak seems to blow off and some nice perfume, pencil shaving etc came through.
  Showing some signs of maturity but plenty of fruit left.
  Never going to be a great but decant and it's pretty good
