  Medium-bodied, firm, and beginning to fade, the wine is all about its earthy, smoky, bright, red fruits with their savory, herbal accents in the nose, and on the classical-styled palate. There is no reason to age this any longer. Drink from 2024-2026.

  A decent dinner wine, this is good value and probably has some upside to come.

  Some fleshy fruits and a good hit of butterscotch on the nose.
  
  Palate has a touch of sweet raisin but is a bit sour and tannic. This is 13 years old but I'm saying to myself, should I have left it another 10 years to develop and iron out the tannins? My only bottle so I'll probably never know!

  Loved the crystals and sediment, good solid avg Bordeaux. Probably save my last bottle for another 7-8 yrs just to see how it fares.

  Wow, was hat sich der Wein entwickelt. Seriöse und feine Nase mit schwarzer Johannisbeere, Kirsche, roten Beeren, Lakritze, Rauch, gegrilltes Fleisch und Eisen. Am Gaumen mit perfekter Säure, guter Struktur, sehr fokussiert, vielschichtige Frucht, feines Extrakt, leichte Cabernet-Würze, mineralisch, feinkörniges und leicht bitteres Tannin im Abgang. Trinkt sich jetzt schon gut dürfte aber in den nächsten Jahren noch zulegen. Leider meine letzte Flasche.
