  Magnum. Popped and poured. Good fruit and tannins but probably needed more time to decant or in the cellar...

  This is all about typical merlot type of fruit, such as plum and dark cherry. Quite mature fruits too, but not in a sweet way. Nice ripe fruit flavours make this quite soft, after it is given some time to mellow out the harsh, biting tannins that dominate immediately after opening. Half an hour could suffice. An earthy note and some vanilla give it some extra. There is some acidity, be it rather modest. Decent wine, certainly for a price below 20 euros, but there's not a ton of complexity and depth here.

  91-92 vvPunkte Kork, keine Bewertung. Hier die Notiz aus "En Primeur". Dichtes Rubin. Dunkelfruchtige Nase, Kirsche, Heidelbeere, gut integriertes Holz. Der Gaumen ist straff, klar definiert, knackige Frucht, schöne Säure, sehr gute Struktur, viel Würzigkeit und Länge. Lebhaft, energiegeladen, ehrlich, auf dem Boden, das macht Spass. 2023-2042 (April 2021)

  Much better in barrel than in bottle, the wine is lush, sensuous, rich and silky with layers of dark chocolate covered plums, licorice and cherries. There is ample fruit on the palate and in the long, plush finish. Give it a few years and it should fill out.

  Medium bodied, soft and forward, the wine goes in the direction of smoke, espresso, dark cocoa, licorice and red pit fruits. Give it a few years and it should fill out. 88-90 Pts
