June 13, 2023 - Hopefully this is an off bottle as it's uncharacteristic for this property. This smells faintly of Barolo and faintly of Brettanomyces-infected Ribera del Duero. Not going to rate and will open another bottle soon.

October 6, 2022 - Med garnet. Med (+) nose of ripe red cherry, cranberry, medicinal herbs, licorice, dried roses/violets, leather, tobacco and a hint of baking spice. Dry and very well balanced, with med (+) acidity, med (+) tannins and high alcohol (14.5%). The palate is consistent with the nose, with ripe fruit, med (+) flavor intensity and length, with a savory, mineral finish. Drinking well now at 7 years, with potential for further aging.

September 2, 2022 - Pale garnet. Aromatic & complex nose, with cloves, cardamom and bay leaves dominating some red fruit.
Quite elegant body, with brisk acidity and a good helping of fine-grained tannins that mellowed a bit over time. The palate was less complex than the aromas. Still a bit tight. Needs more time in bottle, but likely to improve. -

February 7, 2022 - erste Ziegeltöne in der Farbe; vor dem karaffieren sehr adstringierend, wenig fruchtig; nach etwa einer Stunde: sehr würzig, Frucht geht Richtung Erdbeere und Pflaume, kühl/minzig, Lakritze, leicht bissig, gefühlt ein bisschen Kümmel, kein bisschen vanilliges Holz; sehr von feinem Gerbstoff und straffer Säure geprägt, man denkt tendenziell "fruchtfern"; der Wein ist eher auf der Kraftprotz- als auf der fetten Seite (14,5 Alk), eher langer Abgang; Gerbstoff durch die Luft deutlich feiner geworden; für Hähnchen aus dem Ofen zu kräftig; der Wein ist irgendwie schon sehr beeindruckend, bräuchte aber zur vollen Blüte ein kräftiges Essen; so, gerade 93
