December 31, 2023 - braucht etwas Luft, es fehlt schon etwas die Kraft. Nase: reife Brombeere, Pflaume, Waldboden, etwas Tabak, Eukalyptus, etwas Unterholz. Mund: zurückhaltender als in Nase, schöne Frucht, schöne Süße und Säure. Kaum Tannin.

Vin élégant, très délié qui n'a fait que gagner à l'aération.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 29, 2019 - Out of magnum. Still quite a bit of dill from the oak present, along with a fair bit of tangy acidity. More leather and earth than fruit, which was surprising. The various components here weren't as balanced as I would have thought, but this was still good to drink with food.

June 22, 2019 - Light ruby, translucent at edges. Notes of figs, earth, leather. Lovely red fruit, velvety texture, tannins fully resolved. Fully mature and ready.
