  With a solid depth of color, initially you find flowers, espresso, licorice, black cherries, chocolate fudge and plum aromatics crowd into the nose. The sensations on the mid-palate, and finish mirror the aromatics as they flow over your palate. The ending is packed with waves of perfectly, ripe, elegant, black, red, and blue fruits that linger. The wine will require at least a few years of aging before it begins to really start to show its best. But, if you have patience, this is going to age for 2 - 3 decades. The wine blends 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% AB, 3.7 pH. Drink from 2027-2055. 96-98 Pts.

  91 vvPunkte / Viele Veilchen, Kirschen und eine herbe Kräuternote im Bouquet. Der Gaumen ist straff, die Frucht wird von merklich Tannin umgarnt, hier kämpfen Struktur und Frucht noch, stossen sich die Hörner ab. Würzig-herbes Finish. Muss seine Harmonie noch finden.
