Elegant, fresh, refined, spicy, sweet and vibrant, the wine focuses on its lift, energy and soft-textured fruits. There is a hint of salt and sprig of mint that comes in at the end of the finish adding complexity and character. Showing better from the bottle than it did in the barrel, this will drink well just about on release. Drink from 2025-2040.

Mittelkräftiges Rubin. Feiner Duft, Tabak und Röstnoten, dahinter ein Mix aus dunklen und roten Beeren. Im Auftakt straff, schlank und frisch, keinerlei Überextraktion, sehr feines Tannin, die Säure wirkt markant, verleiht Zug, delikates, rotfruchtiges Finale. Burgundisch. Dürfte früh Spass machen. 2025-2038 (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

UGC 2021 Bordeaux (Vibiana, Los Angeles, CA): The nose is classic and aromatic with cedar notes, crushed rocks, currants, dark red cherries, cranberries, violets, leather, tobacco leaf, and some loamy notes. There is good depth here with an open-knit style that is enticing. The Medium bodied feel shows off good balance and length with medium acidity and slightly coarse yet balanced, medium tannins. This feels like it will be an earlier drinker as the tannins are more for framing than being a dominant personality. This feels like it could blossom with that age and improve a fair bit.
