Deep dark red in color. Nose at first dominated by black cherry and black raspberry aromas. As wine opened, earth, minerals and forest floor (with a touch of pine needle) emerged. Palate consistent with nose - an unobtrusive but detectable amount of tannins suggest this wine has a good long life ahead of it. Excellent balance and length. Paired extremely well with scallops in black truffle sauce and white truffle shavings. One of those wines I’m left wishing I had bought more.
One of these days, I look forward to enjoying a nice Burg with a meal that features truffles!!!
Nice notes. I’ve had the 2001 version around 6 times the past year and you could be describing that wine with your notes. A decidedly masculine NSG (referring to the '01), a bit blocky at this point, but should smoothen out nicely in a few years.
Nice note Steve.
Good to see you on board, Welcome!
