December 19, 2023 - Exquisite refined structure that ranks in the upper echelon. Flavor profile was very sweet, almost new world with a lot of dark plum and blackberry/boysenberry.

December 16, 2023 - Beautiful Pomerol. Pure merlot bliss with fruit as red as a red Corvette, its streamlined contours and cassis and wild-berry flavors could almost make this pass for a Burgundy but for the fact that the tannin is giving it a fairly firm shell. Give it an hour or so to stretch its legs, though, and the texture and mouthfeel will pamper you like a floppy hotel pillow.

November 21, 2023 - Incredible nose with ripe plums, cedar, vanilla and blackberry. Structured but svelte on the palate. Plush medium plus tannins, great acidity. Lovely, long finish. This will be amazing when mature.

March 21, 2023 - The combination of incredible purity in the fruit, silky textures, a complex aromatic profile sporting truffles, flowers, licorice, plums, cherries, and cocoa, and a finish that is all about its silky, cashmere texture is what we call a hit! In every sense of the word, this is a magical wine that is rich, full-bodied, sensuous, and sexy, with a finish that lingers, expands, and inspires you to take another sip to experience it all over again. Drink from 2025-2055.

August 18, 2021 - 98-100 vvPunkte (93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 50% Neuholz) Was für eine Nase, man möchte eintauchen, expressiv, mit vielen floralen Noten, ein Parfum, da sind auch würzige Noten, fast schon exotisch anmutend, dazu etwas Tee und darunter eine klare und reine, Waldbeerfrucht. Im Gaumen vollmundig, ja fast üppig, doch weit weg von schwerfällig, nein das ist hochelegant, die Frucht ist satt, knackig, auf den Punkt gereift, die Tannine von höchter Güte, wie ein Samtmantel hüllt sich dieser Wein um die Zunge und lässt den Verkoster im Abgang in Gedanken wegträumen. Ein Pomerol-Monument und einer der ganz grossen Weine des Jahrgangs. (Mai 2021) vvWine.ch
