Tasting notes

Yellow colour. Aired for 2,5 hours in a carafe. The nose showed hints of smoke, flowers, some oak. With another 1,5 hours the nose gained in depth and minerality. Very fine nose. Fullbodied wine in the mouth. Some fat upfront. Quite warm style. Flowery and a bit sweet. Good concentration and fine depth. Smokey and some minerality. The oak is there, but there is more fruit. Medium acidity. Good length. Quite a powerful and backward wine that needed a lot of air to show it's depth. Should be aged 5-10 years.
