Austrian red at its best. Intense ruby colour. Dark fruits in the nose. Now, 5 years after vintage in perfect condition (much better than in February 2023). Like the dark fruit, slight acidity, silky tanins, remember me on southern France Grenache reds. Excellent red with nice acudity and low alcohol (13.5%).

Modern Merlot blend from Fronsac. Ruby colour. Modern, dark fruits and slight coco-barique in the nose. Taste modern, dark Merlot fruits, tanins a lidle bit to rustic but typical Fronsac, Mon-Cherie notes, acidity has intense impact. 14.5% alc. Good with red and/ or grilled beef. Missing complexity for a higher rating. Good drinking window now. Do not wait to long, I don't think this red bekomes much better with signifikant more time in cellar.

10 December 2022 Intense ruby red. Komplex Grand Cru casis nose, Elegant and well developed after 19 years. It is a very elegant Pauillac. Great wine on a pritty high level. Taste is intense, Cabernet driven, mocca, ripe. Great pleasure to drink it now. Drunk this wine over years. Started to open arround 2020. Now it is a perfect Pauillac Gand Cru. It will stay at this level over the next years.
Update 2 February 2024: Still in good shape. Drinking window is still open, 2026+. Cassis, mocca, classic Cabernet Sauvignan driven Bordeaux. Need 2h to show its beauty. Value Pauillac. Realy great wine now!!!
