Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The same amphora as the Post Quercus, six years older. That gap is the whole wine: clay kept the tannin in check here too, but time in bottle has folded the fruit inward and added earthy, dry notes. It therefore carries noticeably more weight than a young amphora Baga without being any harder for it.

Minder geschikt bij
Very fresh or sharply acidic dishes. Its fruit is no longer vivid enough to stand up to them and the wine tastes flat.
