March 9, 2024 - Medium-bodied, elegant, refined and already focused on displaying its floral character, accompanied by its core of black raspberries, cherries, tobacco, cedar and spice. Forward, soft and vibrant, the wine serves up its sweet, energetic red berries with accents of spice, mint and just a touch of espresso on the backend. Produced from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. This is only the second vintage to include 5 Bordeaux varietals in the blend. Drink from 2024-2047.

June 22, 2022 - (91-93 vvPunkte) Mittelkräftiges Rubin. Der Duft ist delikat, vereint Süssholz, Kirschen, Gräser und schwarze Johannisbeeren. Im Gaumen zugänglich, weich im Auftakt, packt dann zu, zeigt einen eher leichten Körper, viel Eleganz, die Säure ist wohl dosiert, die Gerbstoffe von guter Qualität, schwingt sich leichtfüssig in einen angenehm frischen, mittellangen Abgang. Für die mittlere Reife gebaut. 2026-2040 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Vintex) vvWine.ch

May 20, 2022 - Deep ruby in color, the wine kicks off with assorted red pit fruits, lilacs, cedar and forest leaves. Medium-bodied, elegant, soft and vibrant, the fruit is focused on its freshness, balance and elegance, leaving you with the essence of purity in the red cherries and plums that linger in the finish. Produced from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. This is the second vintage to include 5 Bordeaux varietals in the blend. 13.18% ABV, pH 3.6. Picking took place September 27 - October 9. Drink from 2024-2047. 92-94
