Decanted 7 hours
Apperance: Just out of the bottle it's extremely dark red, close to purple and slightly cloudy - After 7 hours it's taken now clear but still very drak red, with a slight white edge to it
Nose: Massive grape attack, a little pricle from the alchohol (very nice) some oak maybe? Baked figs? a vague baked note in there also, maybe?
Taste: Again the grape is massive, but nicely integrated with the alchohol, loads of grape sweetness, blueberry pie
Finish: long and lingering, far from as drying as the 2004, this one just slowly fades out...
Comments: An excellent LBV and quite unfiltered, maybe a good storing potential in this one...
