Deep garnet red with some tile-red rims. Hm. Did I wait too long?
Earthy notes are dominating paired with ripe compote of black berries, dark chocolate and cold black tee. On the palate very fruity with a wonderful persistently redcurrant flavor. Incredibly long finish: smooth, animating and fleshy. Perfect!
So to answer the question at the beginning: No - I didn't wait too long. From color perspective this wine is perhaps a little bit over the time. But that's all. For me it is absolutely on the top and will hold this quality for a lot of additional years. It is a privilege to drink such wines. Thanks, Helen Turley.
Pairing with food? Alba truffles. Definitely!
