All wines were tasted bot blind.
Transparent red. In the bouquet ripe red berries and cherries, also some spiciness. On the palate juicy cherries, some mint, a firm amount of acidity and soft, slightly sticky tannin. Medium length. The wine is ready now and can be cellared for a few more years. 87 – 88

Transparent red. In the bouquet red berries and cherries as well as some lactic impressions. On the palate first some sweet impressions, followed by red fruits like red currants, youthful lactic notes and some mint. Overall a wine with good acidity, some slightly sticky tannin and some bitterness. Medium to full bodied and a good length. 87 - 88. In CT I will put 87 for now.

Intense bouquet with beautiful oak, some rustic impressions, autumn forest and earth. On the palate juicy mainly red berries, firm acidity and sticky, slightly drying tannin. Also some oaky flavors and a pleasant touch of sweetness. The wine is still very youthful and will benefit with at least 4 years of ageing. Really good wine. Probably best between 2016 and 2020+. 90+ for today.

Blood red with a garnet rim. Expressive bouquet with some barnyard, smoke, tobacco and oak. On the palate juicy red and dark forest fruits, sweet spices and a bit rustic. Good oak as well. A firm amount of good acidity and fairly supple tannin. Overall a not overly concentrated, juicy wine with some bitterness. A very ok wine.

Transparent red with a slightly garnet rim. In the expressive bouquet red forest fruits, herbs and spices and esp. some pepper. On the palate a slightly sweet start followed by juicy fruits and firm acidity and some earth. The tannin is sticky and drying, but very ok. Good length. Really good wine that will benefit with some more ageing. Probably best between 2015 and 2020+.

Beautiful and deep bouquet with good fruits, beautiful oak, leather, sweet spices, pepper, chocolate and some sweet licorice. On the palate a juicy wine with ripe fruits, some pepper, oak, good acidity and soft, slightly sticky tannin. Beautiful wine. Already approachable, but still very youthful. Can last until well into the 2020’s. Beautiful wine. 91+ for tonight.

Beautiful and rustic bouquet with red forest fruits, some pleasant barnyard, smoke and beautiful oak. On the palate red fruits as well, a spicy start with pepper, herbs and other spices like clove and luxurious oak. A firm amount of good acidity and beautiful slightly sticky and drying tannin. A really delicious wine, great concentration and length. Puberty stage now and around 2016 this will even be better. Can last into the 2020’s. 92 – 93+ for tonight.

Beautiful and complex bouquet with cigar box, tobacco, cinnamon, chocolate and a touch of barnyard. On the palate chocolate, autumn forest, mushrooms, beautiful and juicy acidity and almost completely melted creamy tannin which is hardly drying in the finish. Beautiful, complex and mature wine. Still has a future of 5+ years as well. 93 - 94+

Mature and complex bouquet with sweet spices like cinnamon and beautiful oak. On the palate chocolate, some earthy flavors, mushrooms, beautiful acidity and almost completely melted tannin which are just slightly drying in the finish. Beautiful, complex and mature wine. At its peak now and a few years to come.

Rustic wine, mature. Juicy red berry fruits, pleasant acidity, some sweetness, light tannin which is not drying. A very tasty and easy drinking wine. Not really complex, but certainly a lovely wine and mature now.

At first a bit of barnyard which blows off. The red fruits like cherries and strawberries. On the palate the same fruits, a bit lactic, some minerals and leather, a firm amount of acidity and soft, slightly sticky tannin. Some bitterness in the finish. Very ok, but not really complex wine. Ready now and the next few years. 86 - 87
