Great wine. Purchased as a gift and was lucky enough to share with the recipient. Deep rich colours and nice aromas on the nose. Smooth after decanting. Needed plenty of time to sit.

(Brunner w Just & Adel) Holding up reasonably well, but really takes about 6 hours to open up. Funky, dark fruits, mossy, with sweet tobacco leaf and seductive dark flowers. Palate is expressive: juicy, dusty, meaty, smokey, with clean steely notes of pepper, dark berries and warm spice, with the lightest hint of truffle amidst the undergrowth. Paired exceeding well with seared wagyu, and Adel's mid-winter Osso Bucco.

Just on the ragged edge of being over the hill, with thinning out and muting of aromas and flavors. Drink up if you have any.
