One of the top wines of the appellation offers an intense nose of flowers, licorice, chocolate-coated black cherries, smoke, cedar and mint in the perfume. With a dark garnet color, the wine is plush, polished, silky and loaded with sweet, dark, ripe, deliciously-expressive fruits. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2025-2048.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Zuiderkerk): Generous and sexy and spicy as always, but the oak seems to dominate, and the tannins are a bit green. Has it been pushed too far?

UGCB tasting-Amsterdam 2021 Bordeaux 03-04-2024: A fairly deep colour, firm wood and vanilla without loosing its balance; sufficient body in the midtaste. In the afttertaste smooth bitters, again some vanilla and good tannins make an interesting mouthful, but not really refined.

Purpurrot. Die Nase ist sofort da, vielschichtig und feinduftig, Röstnoten, dunkle Frucht, schwarze Johannisbeere, Kirsche, ein Hauch Schokolade, steinige Mineralik. Im Gaumen kräftig, wuchtig, der Wein hat Power und merklich Gerbstoff, dieser ist von sehr guter Qualität, die Säure verleiht Frische, ein Wein mit zwei Gesichtern, der bekannten Kraft jedoch ohne die Speckröllchen auf den Rippen wie sonst so oft. Hat Reserven. 2025-2045+ (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

UGCB Amsterdam, walkaround tasting so just short notes.: Full bodied, firm and good depth and length. Good acidity and firm tannin.
