  Nose: Fruity with an intense ripe blackberry. Palate: Oak spice initially followed by a wave of ripe cassis and blackberry that all mingle together; milk chocolate covered cranberries; grainy, almost angular tannins; faint woodsmoke; warming dark oak bitterness that is really nice. Overall, quite primary, which is to be expected from such a young wine, but one that is very well made.

  Licorice, black cherries, blackberries, cocoa, crushed rocks and violets pop in the nose. On the palate, the wine is silky, plush and creamy, with a wealth of lusciously-textured black and red fruits and a touch of spicy chocolate that holds with you from the mid-palate, all the way through to the finish. Drink from 2025-2050.

  At the UDG Chicago. Nice fragrance, mainly fruit, both fruit and oak on the palate, moderate finish over 5 seconds. Best aspect of the wine is a elegant silky structure that really adds to your enjoyment and helps it stand out among many others tasted this evening.

  Tasted at the UGC at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. There were certainly lot of oak and ripe tannins here, but then there was also clearly a lot of wine here as well. It could definitely handle it. Showing black over red fruits, this was a powerful but balanced brute that reminded me of the Lynch-Bages, which I had already tasted. And I have to say, this was the better of the two—at this stage anyway. It’s one-third the price, too. 13.5% ABV. (great; distinguished/****)

  (60% Cabernet Sauvigon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 13% Alkohol) Offene Nase, etwas Popcorn, schwarze Johannisbeeren, Pflaumen, Röstnoten. Im Gaumen rund, weich, zugänglich, bereits gut balanciert, mit ausgeprägten Gerbstoffen, einer feinen Säure und einer reifen Frucht. Lang im Abgang, würzige und florale Aromen im Retrofinale. Hat sich seit En Primeur gut entwickelt. 2025-2040 (Verkostet am 8. November 2022 in Zürich) www.vvwine.ch
