  March 23, 2024 - Solid right bank value wine. Sweet and plush plums with red and black fruit with some earth and a touch of oak.

  February 21, 2024 - Short summary: Lots of fruit, great fun to drink, now in its prime drinking window.
  
  Dunkles Rot mit erster angedeuteter Reife
  In der Nase viel Frucht zuerst Kirsche, mit mehr Luft auch dunkle Fruchtnoten und eine dezente Würze
  Am Gaumen dann kraftvoll mit gaumenauskleidender und (auch durch eine passende Säure) frisch wirkender Frucht, aber auch recht präsentes Tannin, das dem Wein Struktur gibt. Im ordentlichen Abgang findet sich dann auch die Würze aus dem Duft wieder.
  Ein schöner Spaß-Bordeaux, der jetzt in bester Trinkreife ist.

  February 17, 2024 - No, I cannot agree that this wine is 'impressive' or 'delicious'. It is a fairly straight ahead Right Bank, 2nd tier Merlot, marketed as a wanna-be St Emilion Grand Cru.
  I purchased a case of these some time ago. 3 down, 3 to go.

  January 28, 2024 - Impressive richness and concentration, subtle secondary elements and good balancing acidity and tannins. Excellent Merlot based Bordeaux that is drinking very well now on short decant.

  January 28, 2024 - Displaying delicious notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, ink and pencil, this Merlot-based, medium-bodied and balanced Bordeaux is in a lovely phase at the moment. The wine is still fruity, but the tannins have softened and integrated. You can still store this wine for tertiary flavors, but it is hard to resist it now.
