| COMMENTS: |
Very dark purple, dense tears. Bit cool dark fruity nose, some oak. Plump body, powerful structure, slightly bitter tannins (from barrel?), prominent acidity, dark fruit, in the middle a bit empty. Intense and mouth impregnating finish. Clearly interesting wine now, ageing potential questionable.
Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 13 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 6 for overall = total score of 90.
Morwald/Ambassador 20041217. Double blind. Decanted shortly before tasting. Riedel Vinum Syrah glass.
This was a little teaser from our sommelier but we failed. While we could guess the vintage we covered a broad range of regions and varieties in vain: From Blaufrankisch/Austria or Barbera/Piedmont to Syrah/Rhone. We did not recognize the obvious, maybe it was too obvious?

(double blind): Brilliant medium ruby, medium tears. Cool dark fruity nose, slightly vegetal, coriander, bit rotting fruits and vegetals. Medium body, fine red fruit, bit bitter, very agreeable. Long finish, fine velvety fruity. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 18 for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 94.
