Wine dinner hosted by my dear friend Rainer. Wine #6 (blind). The wine was dark ruby in colour and offered cherry, cassis, bell pepper, spices and some eucalyptus on the nose and palate, with firm, well-integrated tannin and very good length. The fresh, medium-bodied wine was well-structured. According to my friend, the leftover still drank well days later. A very good Cabernet that is aging impressively well!

Cork was disaster to remove. Fell apart. Wine is dark ruby, brownish. Drinkable, but i am not a fan of too old wines. Would not buy it, got as a gift from a wineshop to try.
Still some fruit, was probably better a few years ago.
Update after finishing the bottle. Nice ripe cabernet, did well with food. Would buy more bottles.
