  Violets, tobacco, blackberries, cigar box, spice, and black cherries form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is silky, lush, polished, and fresh. There is length, purity, velvety tannins, and a racy, energetic, fruit-packed finish, with an exotic touch of cardamon in the backend that adds even more of an edge. The almost seamless finish resonates for 50 seconds. The wine blends 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. 14% ABV, 3.75 pH. The harvest took place September 11 - October 5. Waiting the few extra days in September made the difference in the wine this year. Yields are a scant 32 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2065. 97-99 Pts.

  95-97 Punkte. Tiefdunkle Farbe, nobel im Duft, dunkle Beeren, Tabak, Kräuter, Weihnachtsgewürze; voluminöser Auftakt, dann straffer werdend, gut strukturiert, zupackendes Tannin, knackige Frucht, viel Spannung, wird gegen Ende immer leichtfüssiger, zeigt Rasse und Länge. Eindrücklich. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 13.9 Alkohol)
