December 5, 2023 - One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Slight sediment in screen. During decant, moderate aromas of dark cherries and cedar. Wine was clear; still purplish from bowl to rim. After resting: nose had evolved: cherries, black fruit, roses and vanilla. Body was medium-plus with an elegant mouthfeel showcasing blackberry, cranberry and vanilla. Well-balanced. Will likely improve but wonderful now.

October 15, 2023 - Deep Purple with first garnet red hues. Lots of black cherry, black currant some roasted notes and a bit of vanilla. Medium to full bodied with soft tannins and very long finish

May 23, 2022 - Philipp and m Wotn. Reminds me that I should drink more it, I adore the style and the integrated oak. Got it for 70 € at Lobenberg. Stunning. Never guessed this vintage to be so outstanding. Will look for more.
