With a single swirl, the wine is floral, with raspberries, black cherries, plums, cigar wrapper and spice. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, energetic, and spicy, with layers of sweet, and pure, red berries with lift, and energy that you feel on the mineral-accented backend. This is the first vintage produced in the irnew cellar, which expanded from 9 tanks to 24 vats, allowing for parcel by parcel vinification. You can taste and feel the difference here. The wine blends 59% Merlot, with 41% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV. Drink from 2026-2048. 93-95 Pts.

93-95 Punkte. Expressiv, offenherzig, florale Noten, Laub, Kirsche, zitrische Aromen; weich im Auftakt, packt dann zu, markante, puderige Gerbstoffe, viel rote Frucht, knackig, saftig, frisch. Noch immer fliegt dieser Wein etwas unter dem Radar vieler, zu Unrecht, denn das Niveau ist hoch. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 14 Alkohol)
