  Dark ruby hue. Exquisite bouquet of fruit, with aromas of blueberry, pepper, plum, saline, vanilla. Plus body, with plus tannins and plus acid. Superbly balanced and elegant, with a lengthy, memorable finish. Tannins are already well-integrated, but this is something to drink on special occasions. 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Malbec.

  This has considerable upside in the next 5-10 years but popped and poured it came singing straight out of the bottle.
  
  On the nose: a medley of blackberries, blueberries, tomato leaf, tobacco and cloves
  
  On the palate: the length and finish are nice and long with a distinct note of cloves. Blueberry compote, lovely balanced acidity with notes of plums skins and firm tannins that smoothed out over 2 hours.

  Good now but considerable upside. Black cherry, berries, crushed rocks, a little bit of a roasted something, baked bread, sweet tobacco on the nose but all wrapped up in a seamless velvet package. Plush but not over the top at all on the palate. Nice acidity, hints of spice, plenty of length but not crazy. Nice stuff, looking forward to trying the next one in 10 years or so.

  Decanted for 2 hours. Absolutely lovely wine which I'd characterize as "sex in a bottle." There is light to no sediment in the bottle. Medium body with a silky smooth texture. Medium finish with medium acidity. Even if this has long term potential, it's amazing right now although a good pairing with steak. Long term, it could probably be a standalone wine.

  Auge: Opaques Rubinrot. Klar.
  Nase: Extrem konzentriert und sehr klar. Zwanzig Zentimeter vom Glas entfernt liegt das Bouquet bereits in der Luft. Intensive Cranberry mit leichten Cassis-Noten. Unterlegt mit steiniger Mineralik. Zeitweise ein Hauch von leicht angebrannten Kaffeebohnen. Keine grünen Noten. Sehr schön komplex.
  Gaumen: Trocken mit sehr frischer Säure. Anfängliche dunkle Beeren, gefolgt von steiniger Mineralik und Peffernoten. Extrem konzentriert im Geschmack. Endlos lange mittlere Gaumenlänge gefolgt von endlos langem Finale mit mittelmäßig intensiven, sehr feinmaschigen Tanninen mit einer super-feinen Körnung. Der Wein halt sehr lange nach und der Geschmack bleibt auf der Zunge.
  Straight aus der Flasche getrunken. Der Wein war ohne belüften hervorragend.
