  The perfume offers flowers, black cherries, licorice, chocolate-covered plums, crushed rocks, stones, and espresso as its aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is silky, spicy, vibrant, refined, and focused on its supple-textured, red plum, and dark cherry-filled profile. The long finish is loaded with sweet, ripe, red fruits with a touch of salted chocolate that comes in at the end of the finish. This is quite successful for the vintage. The wine blends 73% Merlot with 27% Cabernet Franc. Yields were low at only 28 hectoliters per hectare. This is the first vintage to sport its new label and its now, abbreviated name. Drink from 2026 - 2055.

  (94-96 vvPunkte) Dichtes Rubinrot. In der Nase Kirschen, Gräser, steinige Noten, Cassis, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen gut strukturiert, mit merklich Gerbstoff, kalkige Tannine, der Wein zeigt Rasse und Frische, deutlich weniger Opulenz als auch schon. Im Abgang lang, steinig, sehr salin und frisch. Top gelungen und mit grossen Reserven. 2028-2050 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Dourthe) vvWine.ch

  Right off the bat you notice all the crushed rocks and stones from the deep limestone terroir before moving on to the oyster shell, espresso, blackberries, black cherries and plums. There is an intense mineral essence that comes through on the palate accentuating the red fruits in the mid-palate. There is tension, with supple-textures, creamy tannins and a sweetness to the fruits in the finish. This is quite successful for the vintage. The wine blends 73% Merlot with 27% Cabernet Franc, 13.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 30 - October 14. Yields were low at only 28 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2025 - 2055. 93-95
