Spotted this on a list at a good price. We had selected some duck as part of our very tasty dinner at Supernormal in Melbourne.
I was expecting a charming wine, but this was indeed very serious, dark and brooding with quite structured tannins. For the first time in my life I requested that a Burg be be decanted, which the Somm. endorsed. Initially it was tight and broody, with air it started to show its perfume and darker fruits, the tannins becoming less obtrusive, but still showing a certain austerity. The density of the wine was surprising, and it matched remarkably well with a gamut of dishes including a stunning schezuan style shoulder of lamb.
