Red cherry fruit on the nose. Full bodied palate that oozes concentrated fruit and juicy acidity. Soft but persistent tannins on the finish. Big rounded wine that will take some time

If you are seeking a masterclass in minerality, taste this wine! The nose screams crushed rocks, stones and oceanic influences before moving to its flowers, licorice, black cherries, plums, and espresso nose. Concentrated, full-bodied and intense, with layers of mineral-infused black and red fruits, the wine builds, lingers and expands, finishing with vibrancy, refinement, and elegant, sweet, ripe, luscious red fruits with a touch of salt in the tannins. Drink from 2026-2055.

Tasted next to 2011. Lovely, perfumed nose - lots of red and dark fruit, spices, crushed stones, herbs, liquorice, dark chocolate. A little less expressive on the palate. Nicely balanced with good acidity, generous fruit, ripe tannins. The minerality is quite impressive indeed. Very persistent finish. 95-96+

The 2020 vintage UGCB tasting in Amsterdam 03/06/2023 (Amsterdam): Friendly, juicy, smooth fruit and spices, at the moment a bit less convincing in the midtaste; there are good tannins in the aftertaste.
