  Starting with an elegant vanilla, than comes red fruit, followed by peppery spices. The colour is very deep and young; the taste is concentrated with dark fruit and lively; good bitters and firm, but ripe tannins in a long finish.

  Flowers, chocolate, licorice and ripe, sweet, opulent plums with a touch of crushed rock notes are all over the place here, on the nose and on the round, fresh, palate. This gem is drinking in its sweet spot today. Drink from 2023-2030.

  The message: give this wine a lot of aeration and you will become rewarded; even at the third day (one night not in the fridge) the wine held its balance completely with fresh red fruit, a firm taste with a hint of leather and minerals and recognizable, but nearly ripe, tannins in the aftertaste.

  A serious wine, starting with a creamy bouquet with also dark red fruit, a taste with nice edges (you have something to discover in your mouth) and a classic and balanced aftertaste with ripe bitters and lots of good tannins. Fun for less than € 13 (en primeur).
