(half bottle, not blind): Very dark ruby, nearly inpenetrable but clear, tints the glass. Immediately after opening decent dark fruit in the nose, but not very expressive. Full to medium body, fruit completely suppressed, inky taste. In the first moment I feared even a slight TCA problem but after 2 hours in the glass the wine opened a little bit with a rather expressive and very nice nose but the taste remained somewhat flat and broad. This needs some time. Score: 50 + 5 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 16 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 92.
