91 Points

Monday, December 28, 2020 - 0.375 L bottle late Dec 2020: not decanted; deep red purple color; intense bouquet of cassis, blueberry and cherry plus mocha and cocoa aromas/flavors; started restrained and furry on the palate, softened up after one hour but stayed introverted; plenty of gentle tannins; long finish. 90-91+/100

Excellent wine with a magnificent nose while the palate was still a bit restive. Already worth a try this wine will reach maturity in 5-10 years depending on storage conditions and could achieve rating scores even 2-3 points higher.

The given high alcohol level of 14.5% was surprisingly not felt as such.
