December 2, 2017 - Fabulously dark and intense colour
Brilliant warm aromas, tar, dark fruits, leather
Full on powerhouse pallet. Turbo fruit, intense and dark, and especially suave and smooth

October 24, 2016 - Blind tasting of a number of Grosse Gewächse. Third nightcap. At first black currant juice on the nose. After some additional time in the glass, the black currants are replaced by black cherries. Notes of licorice and mocha join in as well. Medium-bodied, very fresh and vital on the palate, with fine, medium tannins and good grip. Notes of cherries, a little smoke and bacon-like, leather, licorice and plums. Long finish. Still rather young.
Blindverkostung von Großen Gewächsen. Absacker zu den Absackern. In der Nase zunächst Cassissaft. Nach kurzer Belüftung wird die Cassisnote von satter Schwarzkirsche ersetzt. Dazu gesellen sich Aromen von Süßholz und Mokka hinzu. Am Gaumen sehr frisch und vital mit knackiger Säure, mittelkräftigen, feinen Tanninen, gutem Grip und mittlerem Körper. Kirsche, etwas rauchig und speckig, Leder, Süßholz und Pflaume. Langer Abgang. Noch sehr jung.
