Beautiful bouquet with ripe black berries, some toast and smoke. Same on the palate, juicy dark and some red berries as well as herbs and spices, some laurel, well dosed oak and good acidity and round tannin. After a few hours the tannin became more sticky. This certainly is a very beautiful wine. Already drinking nicely and certainly a future of 3 -5+ years. 89 - 90

Medium bodied, forward, easy drinking and already quite charming, the fruit is ripe, sweet and delicious. One of the top value plays in Bordeaux, enjoy this on release.

It is going to be hard to find a better value wine in Bordeaux than this. The wine is forward, round and fruity with black plum and floral notes. Drink this young for the fruit as well as for the pleasure. Produced from 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. 87-89 Pts

Sehr erfreulicher, fruchtig-fetter Bordeaux mit ordentlich Tanin.

Henri Bloem-Bloemendaal-autumn tasting: Minerals, tea, juicy, good body, needs air to blossom; the tannins are still a bit firm.
