Tasting Notes

The nose is completely dominated by raw malic fermentation aromas and thus just about impossible to judge. The massively proportioned flavors however are incredibly dense and powerful yet there is nothing heavy or blowsy about them. Moreover, the powerful and driving finish is impeccably well balanced, focused and actually elegant. This is not easy to read but my rating is based on the unbelievable potential of the underlying material and there's no reason that this shouldn't be of reference standard quality.

95/98
