March 21, 2023 - Texturally, this is one of the sexiest wines in all of Bordeaux. The levels of opulence, sensuality and silk are almost off the hook, and they make the perfect backdrop for the layers of blackberries, black plums, licorice, chocolate, black cherries, espresso and spice. Long, rich, balanced, fresh and hedonistic, this is going to offer pleasure for the following 2 decades. Drink from 2024-2047.

May 24, 2021 - 94-96 vvPunkte (80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 80% Neuholz, 20% Amphoren) Deutlich vom Ausbau geprägt, viele Röstnoten, Gewürze, auch rauchige Noten, dahinter dunkle Frucht, darüber ätherische Düfte, komplex. Im Gaumen rund, fleischig, druckvoll und sehr gut strukturiert, die reife Frucht wird von feinmaschigen Tanninen gepuffert, die Säure ist stimmig, verleiht Zug und zusätlich Struktur. Im Abgang hallt dieser Wein fast 2 Minuten nach, zeigt dunkle Kirschfrucht, reife Pflaumen und eine steinig-salzige Note. Hat sehr gute Reserven und wird von etwas Reife profitieren. 2027-2045+ (Mai 2021) vvWine.ch

May 20, 2021 - Opulent, silky and rich, this is pure bottled hedonism. Flamboyant, showy plums, cherries, smoke, licorice, spice, oak and earthy nuances seek your attention. Rich, lush and opulent on the palate, the wine finishes with layers of perfectly ripe, sensuous fruits. Give it 7 years or so for the oak to fully integrate and enjoy over it the following 2 decades. 96-98
