Aging quite well!
The nose shows blackberry, licorice, a bit of menthol and some forest soil and game scents too. The palate is surprisingly round, with blackberry notes all along, a wide and long presence. A soft mouthfeel and completely integrated tannins before a blackberry and licorice finish that lasts for a long while. This is improving! There is still one bottle of this wine which was served during our wedding.

Jan 15th, 2022Funny story part 3. This is the wine my wife and I served to our guests during our wedding 7 years ago. I thought we had got rid of all the bottles but it turns out 3 remained for 7 years hidden in my wife's room at her parents'.
The nose shows some aging, including wet forest soil and mushrooms. There's a tiny bit of red fruits and a black pepper too. The palate is not bad though, there is still a massive acid backbone, a big bright red and black fruit all along, even to a sweet point, some tannins in the rear before rather long finish with fruit, that sweet touch and a bitter touch that seems to be due to aging. On the down slope but still enjoyable as is. And a good souvenir of a very good moment with family and friends.
