Community Tasting Notes (71) Avg Score: 90.8 points

  • Medium ruby with a touch of garnet around the edges. Pronounced aromas of herbs and dark cherry. Wonderful sweet cherries with a savoury note on the palate. Medium acidity with subtle resolved tannins. A lovely freshness made this so drinkable. Still has more to reveal i think. Will try another next year.

  • This is drinking very well right now. Crushed red fruit, minty herbs, and baking spice. Pure enjoyment and in a great place.

    Not yet tertiary. For magnums perhaps needing breathing overnight
    or 5-10 yrs further cellaring.

  • Fully mature but just not likable. Hmph.

  • Jetzt offen. Sehr schokoladig. Sehr dunkle Farbe, dunkles Rubin mit Ziegelreflexen. Eine tolle Rosen/Himbeernase, etwas Lakritz und Rauch. Am Gaumen Schokolade, Himbeeren, Teer. Fast etwas „zu rund“ um interessant zu sein aber das ist Klagen auf hohem Niveau.
