    July 27, 2023 - Beautiful, fresh, tertiary aromas, good balance between sweetness and acid. In a good spot now and for a few more years. Only short decant needed…

    October 18, 2022 - Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing red currants, cooked cherries, oak, spices, vanilla, herbs, licorice, cloves, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, wet leaves and bitter vegetables.

    Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

    This 19 year old has a lot of fruits still, and needs time to open up properly (1 hour), so be patient.

    Showing great complexity at this point. Tasty and interesting.

    I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

    A blend of 46% Merlot and 46% Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels.

    13% alcohol by volume.

    91 points.

    $60.

    June 8, 2019 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like gooseberry, raspberry, black currant (cassis), blueberry, forest floor, mushroom and cedar. It tastes like forest floor, mushroom, plum and black currant (cassis). The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

    In der Nase reife Waldbeeren, etwas Zedernholz. Am Gaume schön eingebettete Tannine, zurückhaltende Zedernholz- und Ledernoten. Gute Reife trotz erstaunlich präsenter Frische. Optimale Trinkreife.
