  September 9, 2023 - Powerful, tannic wine indeed.
  Initially cranberry, cassis, dried herbs, oak and chocolate.
  Developed into more leathery, chocolate and earthy notes with spicyness intensifying. Very robust, 15% alcohol. Needed a steak to pair with.

  July 17, 2023 - Dense cassis nose with spicy notes.
  Ripe and still fruity but the finish was too oaky for my liking.
  Maybe my tastes have evolved. I used to love Madiran.

  May 17, 2023 - Nose: Blueberries, gravel, roasted oak, chocolate, a bit of cherry and mint.
  
  Palate: Big entry with high acidity, very noticeable alcohol and quite deep flavors. The mouthfilling but fine tannins then arrive and shut everything down for a few seconds. Then comes a subtle dark fruit character that gives way to a dry aftertaste with a coffee note. A few hours in the decanter did round everything off and made the alcohol and acid behave better.

  May 1, 2023 - Mittleres Bordeauxrot, leicht aufgehellter Rand. Saubere Nase, erinnert an einen jungen Syrah, neben dunklen Beeren auch weisser Pfeffer, Anflüge von nördlicher Rhone. Gute Komplexität. Am Gaumen kräftiger Auftakt, Brombeeren, Heidelbeeren, auch etwas Schokolade, sehr gute Harmonie, das Holz gut eingebunden, dominiert nicht, der Alkohol ist wahrnehmbar, wird aber durch eine saftige Säure gut balanciert. Gute Komplexität und sehr gute Länge. Hat Reserven und muss noch etwas reifen, 2019-2030, 17,5+ vvPunkte (89+/100) www.vvwine.ch
