my 2nd bottle, fully mature, nose with blackcurrants, dark plums, well integrated oak, on the palate rather spicy, herbs, tar, tabacco, not typical like a bordeaux, round and ripe tannins. Too much herbs in my opinion,

Due to previous notes, and a lot of obvious sediment, I opened this one with trepidation - a funky nose quickly blew off leaving a moderately strong nose of prune and forest floor. After an hour of a leisurely steak dinner, the body gained some heft - with medium weight and fruitiness - the acidity and sugar still being nicely balanced. Mature merlot notes on a lighter, but lasting finish. Looks like it held up in my cellar just, just long enough to hold up to rare, garlicky red meat.

Pflaume, rote Beeren, leichte vegetabile Noten und Zigarrenkiste; am Gaumen frisch, mittelkörniges, leicht zehrendes Tannin, guter Grip, langer Abgang. Zwei Tag später hat sich der Wein überraschend zum Positiven entwickelt: Weich, elegant, schöne Frucht- und Paprikanoten, super Essensbegleiter zum Rumpsteak! Also beruhigt die weitere Entwicklung abwarten...

As with previous notes, vanilla and chocolate dominate. Similar to Coleraine. Delicious and I wouldn't hold for any longer.
