Uncomplicated pleasure bubbles. Feels like "Blaufränkisch Spritz" to drink and the crunchy berry flavors really carry this wine. The 2020 lot is still in good shape, but it's time to drink up.

Quite elegant, fine. Absolutely ready to drink, needs just a bit of air / time in the glass to unfurl. Notes of dried red berries, some tea leaves, very subtle - not your usual Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Last bottle was end of 2019 — was OK, but nothing more. How much the world has changed since then, and also this wine. It's in a impressive stage currently where fruit still has power to impress, but also tertiary elements shine through just enough to elevate this to the next level. Impressive wine, great point in time to indulge.
