  November 25, 2023 - Bone dry. Brooding. Even with food did not settle. Too early

  October 15, 2023 - Similar to Jeff Leve's notes. As his review, nose of white narcissus flower, black cherry, licorice, warm spice, and burnt/smoke notes. In the mouth, these aromas persist with black cherry and white narcissus flowers dominating along with a slight cooked bread effect on the persistent finish. Fruity notes grow as the wine opens. Great concentration. Fine, grainy tannins lead to a smooth drinking experience. Really good. Similar to the Mangot 2020 but more accessible and less closed. I can see truffle aromas developing as this wine ages.

  March 29, 2022 - Dark in color, the wine pops with little effort due to all of its flowers, perfectly ripe black-cherries, licorice, spice, dark chocolate and smoky aromatics. Opulently textured, with silky-tannins, vibrancy, length and purity, this beauty is going to provide fabulous drinking for at least 15 years. And it sells for a song. This is a wine you can purchase by the case! Drink it young, or age it for a few years. Drink from 2023-2035.

  January 13, 2022 - 93 vvPunkte (14.5%, verkostet am im Dezember 2021 in Windisch). Dichtes Rubin. Die Nase überzeugt direkt nach dem Öffnen mit dunkler Frucht, Pflaumen, Kirschen, feinen Raucharomen und Veilchen-Noten. Der Gaumen ist gewohnt kräftig, rund und ausladend, ein Mund voll Wein, mit sehr feinkörnigen, perfekt reifen Tanninen und einer passenden Säurestruktur, die hohe Alkoholgradation ist zwar wahrnehmbar, doch ergibt dies zusammen mit der eindrücklichen Frucht eine passende Symbiose. Erstaunlich frisch und mit sehr guter Länge hallt dieser Wein sicherlich 1 Minute nach und hinterlässt etwas Süssholz und wieder Veilchenaromen. Hat ein langes Leben vor sich und dürfte in jeder Lebensphase Freude bereiten. Konnte sich seit en Primeur noch verbessern. 2024-2040. vvWine.ch

  September 8, 2021 - Has a cool, yet concentrated feel, vertical structure and a bright fruit. Tannin is very present and stays long. Too young, but this will arrive, I am sure. 90+ point
