Tasted July 27, 2006 at an offline. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Purple color in the glass, clear hue thoughout. Very tight/closed nose giving up perhaps some leather notes, pepper and perhaps dried herbs. Not a lot on the palate as well, maybe some mixed red fruits. However, the wine seemed to have medium acidity and tannins. Is this wine still shutdown or is provenance an issue here? Not sure. My first guess is a provenance issue or perhaps simply an off bottle. Maybe I tasted it too early on. I didn’t get a chance to revisit with airtime. Withholding a rating or recommendation. This wine should have performed much better than this.
