Tobacco leaves, barbecue, cedar, spearmint, currants and blackberries create a nose worth putting your nose in. On the palate, the wine is fresh, supple, polished and firm, with layers of crémé de cassis, coffee bean, black cherries, plums, spice and creamy tannins. This is even better in the bottle than it was from the barrel. It can for at least 20 years, if you let it. Though I will start drinking my bottles much earlier. Drink from 2025-2045.

89-90 vvPunkte (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Fracn 20% Merlot, 5% Petit-Vertot und Malbec, 13.5% Alkohol) Männliche, tiefgründige Pauillac Nase, Cassis und Blaubeere, Rauch und Torf, Gewürze, Veilchen. Im Gaumen frisch, saftig, kernige Tannine, viel Struktur, die Frucht hält sich etwas im Hintergrund, muss sich auf die Bühne kämpfen, doch das schafft sie mit etwas Zeit. Im Abgang von guter Länge und mit viel Frische und Würze. Kann reifen. 2026-2040 (April/Mai 2021)

Juicy, crisp and fresh with firm tannins, medium-body and loads of sweet crémé de cassis, flowers, tobacco and coffee bean notes for you to enjoy. The wine is complex, and bright, with a lingering, red currant finish. Give it 5 years of age or more if can you can wait and enjoy it over the next 15-20 years with ease. 91-93
