The wine was excellent in the nose with taste profile slightly lacking the concentration. Overall it was very nicely drinkable. Out of 7 tasted it ended up on 4th place, in my scoring it ended up on 4th place as well. Writing these notes I realized I tasted the same wine in January 2013, so you can check my notes then.
