March 2, 2024 - (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Carmenère, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 4% Syrah von damals noch 5jährigen, sehr jungen Reben, 14% Alkohol) Rubinrot, keine Alterstöne. In der Nase Bordeaux-like, Zedernholz, dunkle Kirsche, Cassis und blonder Tabak dominieren das Duftbild, komplex. Der Gaumen ist auf den Punkt gereift, noch immer knackige Frucht, wunderbar verpackte Gerbstoffe, der Wein ist in einem top Trinkfenster, zeigt noch kein Alter und ist doch nicht mehr sperrig. Langer, würziger Abgang auf Cassis und eingemachte Pflaumen. Jetzt bis 2033+ geniessen. 93 vvPunkte

February 20, 2023 - My wife will suggest we have "too much wine", until I pop open an older vintage like this 2011. I'm enjoying this without food, sipping, and sniffing. This has evolved nicely from when I purchased it several years ago. Glad I waited. This is when I remind my wife how difficult it is to find a wine as refined in the current offerings. *smile* Bold, nice fruit but not sweet, some oak, in a dark inky purple. Absolutely no bricking and the tannins have resolved. I love the peppery finish.

February 21, 2022 - My last bottle of this vintage. A winery that aims to produce the best in the world. A long way to go. This one is explosive in aromas and intense on the palate, but with a touch of Bordeaux elegance. Some vegetable, tobacco and sweet spice touch. A very outstanding wine.
