Fragrant, a bit lactic, lovely fruite, slate, masterfully judged oak, some tertiary evolution; elegant weight with sufficient stuffing; some back-end heat, slightly drying tannins. Very charming, a little past peak.

Mature but lively colour; explosive nose, delicious ripe fruit, slate, warmth from perfectly judged oak; smooth and juicy, well-rounded, lowish acidity but the tannins are ripe; good length. An elegant and refined Ahr-wine, spicy, lovely interplay between cool and sweet, delicious now. Still going strong the next day.

High-toned, freshness and depth, slate and forest floor; juicy acidity, creamy, good tension, intense and aromatic; lovely length, delicious.
