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.

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.

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