April 19, 2024 - Auge: Klares, tiefes rubinrot mit deutlichen Purpurtönen
Nase: Sauber. Intensive Aromen von Cassis, Brombeere, Himbeeere, marmeladig, Schokolade, Vanille. Erste Reifenoten
Gaumen: Trocken, hohe Säure, mittleres, feines Tannin, hoher Alkohol 14%, voller, cremiger Körper mit mittleren Aromen von marmeladig, Brombeere, Eucalyptus. Langer Abgang
BLIK 1+1+0.75+0.75=3.5 Sehr gute Qualität. Wein ist schön balanciert, hat Druck im Gaumen und eine aromatische Komplexität, die allerdings in der Nase akzentuierter ist als im Gaumen. Tannin schön eingebunden, trotz frühem Reifestadium. Wein fertig getrunken, nachdem 6 Wochen vorher 2 Glas mit Coravin entnommen wurden. Hat deutliche zugelegt. Unbedingt dekantieren. Kann getrunken werden, hat noch 4 Jahre Reifepotential und weitere 4 Jahre Lagerpotential -

March 1, 2024 - Auge: Klares, intensives rubinrot
Nase: Mittlere Aromen von Kirsche, Eucalyptus, Brombeere, Vanille. Jugendlich.
Gaumen: Trocken, hohe Säure, hoher Alkohol 14%, festes, feines Tannin, mittlerer Körper mit mittleren Aromen von Brombeeren, Eucalyptus, mittlerer Abgang
(BLIK = 1+0.5+0.5+0.5=2.5) Sehr gute Qualität. Wein hat eine sehr schöne Balance. Aromen, Säure und Tannin spielen schön zusammen Tannin wird sich noch entwicklen. Ist jetzt aber schon gut trinkbar. Wein ist für seine 4 Jahre noch erstaunlich fruchtig, noch keine spürbaren Tertiärnoten. Kann getrunken werden, hat aber noch 3-4 Jahre Reifepotential und weitere 3-4 Jahre Lagerpotential1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 29, 2023 - A - Clear. Medium plus ruby.
N - Clean. Medium plus intensity. Red cherry, plum, oak, blackberry. The wine is young and in development.
T - Dry. Body mouth medium plus. All te flavours above. Tannins medium, finish medium plus.
C - Very good
Drink now or hold, will surely improve over time.
This is a style I really like. Earthy, feet strongly in te soil, yet approachable. When you can, buy!1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 23, 2023 - Enjoyed after a long decant. Displaying notes of meat, bacon and spices, as well as red and dark berries, this medium/full-bodied wine is surprisingly balanced and pleasurable now, when properly aired. The wine is fairly fruity, and it has a very good acid structure. Consequently, the wine can be drunk now, but it has lots of ageing potential. For 27 euros in Tallinn, Estonia, this has been one of my best buys this year, and I will definitely try to buy this more.
