March 5, 2024 - Fresh, vibrant, elegant, and almost discreet, the wine is classic in style, in a good way. The nose, with its display of flowers, tobacco, cherries, kirsch and hints of cocoa shines with little effort. The medium-bodied palate, with its profile of sweet, ripe, red cherries, comes along with gentle accents of leafy herbs, cocoa, espresso and soft-textured, plums. The wine drink well young, yet age and develop for 2 decades. The wine blends 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, and 5.5% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2025-2050.

March 4, 2024 - UGCB Amsterdam, walkaround tasting so just short notes.: Beautiful dark berries, juicy and round acidity, some herbal notes, good length. Beautiful wine. 91 – 92

March 4, 2024 - UGCB tasting-Amsterdam 2021 Bordeaux 03-04-2024: A whiff of cherries and other red fruit, a fresh impression in the midtaste, combined with a good bite; freshness is the hallmark of this wine and the aftertaste confirms it.

March 1, 2024 - Leicht rauchige Nase, Tabak, rote und dunkle Beeren, Kräuterwürze. Im Gaumen schlank, frisch, leichter bis mittlerer Körper, gute Struktur, die Tannine sind von guter Qualität, überlagern die delikate Frucht nicht, das hat Rasse und Präzision und im Abgang eine rote Beerenfrucht und florale Rückaromen. Delikat. 2025-2042 (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)
