Second sample we have tasted and for me the best. It had very nice complex bouquet, followed by big mouth feel, nice cherries with vanilla from the oak and accompanied by slightly higher (but not harsh ones)tannins, it will definitely improve over 2 to 3 years easily. At the tasting I scored it 85 but now remembering my notes it definitely deserved 86.
Was this the winner? Was there agreement that it was the best?
ReplyDeleteActually, it was the second, but for me clearly the best :)
