Young but well welcoming , round , fleshy and good use of oak and even at this stage that is young and the oak prominent. Good wine very much well made and full of promise. Lots of life here and an easy 90-91 for now. Will need time to develop and score more though.

Ruby red with slight purple and pink rim. Sweet red fruits, dense cassis, raspberry, strawberry, cotton candy, half & half, vanilla, oak, spices, black pepper, stalky and ink. Full-bodied, medium acidity, medium-high tannin, medium-high alcohol, and long finish. Concentrated fruits and complex. Acidity seemed insufficient to support the dense body. We shall see how it develops in the future. I drank the 2014 in parallel with this 2019. 2014 was cheaper and had higher acidity and seemed to perform better at time of writing.

Random wines tried during service (Oinoscent): Merlot and Cabernet Franc Ethereal in teh nose, floral, there is ripeness of fruit, black fruit, prunes, black cherry, a touch smoke. The palate shows great smooth purity, black fruit, cherry, currant, berry again, chocolate and a bit of smoke, smooth juicy tannins, nice acidity, medium finish Really young at this point, seductive even in such age. With time in the glass, you also get some nice caramel notes. Gorgeous

Full-bodied, concentrated, earthy and cherry-filled with an herbal nuance and complexity, the wine is lively, wild and fruity with forest floor and fresh red fruits in the finish. 90-92 Pts

kräftig, gute Frucht und Länge, tolle Farbe und Nase. Nicht so gut wie der 2018er, aber super lecker
