Tasting notes

This is a wine with a certain fame that lived up to it's reputation. It ad a fine depth and was a rather intense and concentrated wine. The oak is fairly integrated. Dark red colour. Intense and quite fruity nose with hints of blackcurrant, lead-pencil, mineral and fine floral high-notes. Some oak. Fullbodied wine with a quite sturdy structure and an underripe fruit with good concentration. Young and intense. Some herbacious notes in the fruit. Much hints of lead-pencil and some oak. Hints of blackcurrant, fine florality and even minerals. Good depth. Oak is quite integrated. Medium acidity and noticable tannins in the back. Fine structure. Starts to drink well now. Drink over next 5-10 years. Fine.
