March 9, 2024 - With a bit of oak that still needs integrate in the nose, the perfume quickly moves to roses, tobacco leaf, cherries, black currants, incense and a background note of orange rind. On the palate, soft, fresh, elegant and refined, with layers of sweet, ripe, red fruits that taste as good as they feel. This is an incredible success for the vintage. The wine blends 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere. Drink from 2026-2050.

March 4, 2024 - UGCB Amsterdam, walkaround tasting so just short notes.: Juicy dark and red berries, well dosed oak, good acidity and round tannin. Good length. There is a hint of bell pepper noticeable, but it is certainly a very good wine.

March 1, 2024 - Komplexe Nase, noch dezent vom Holz geprägt, tiefgründig und rein, sehr feiner Cassisduft, Kirschen, Gräser, florale Noten, ein Hit. Im Gaumen elegant, anfangs leicht cremig, wird dann immer straffer, messerscharf, elegant, mit feinkörnigem Tannin, einer ungemein knackigen Frucht und sehr schöner aromatischer Länge. Das ist ein tänzerischer Brane, der früh Spass machen kann, jedoch nicht zu unterschätzen ist in Sachen Potential. 2027-2048+ (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

January 26, 2024 - a healthy, lovely 21; powdery, raspberry, blueberry, potpourri - the nose really does catch you. Perfumed floral finish; very pretty, delicate yet gourmand. 92-93

January 25, 2024 - UGCB SF Tasting Event (Metreon, San Francisco): Endowed with decent fruit and good concentration. Perhaps the most overt toast on the oak, with clove and other baking spice? A pleasing whisp of green and tobacco - actually tastes like cabernet. Needs time to integrate. 92
