January 17, 2022 - I think that this wine punches WAY above its weight considering that I got it under $100. Excellent QPR. The ABV is 14%, which is a throwback of sorts these days with most cabs now hitting 15%+. Just a delicious, enjoyable wine.

October 3, 2021 - Ready. Maybe in 5 years the wine could be more interesting for some of you, but heck I like fruit and it is fading. The wine right now I think is in the perfect spot. I don´t think further development is something I would apreciate . Have 2 more and will open them before Trump wins again in 2024

April 4, 2021 - Zh OstSonntag, CS+Malbec) Wunderbar gereifter und reifer Bordeaux-Style-Argentinier. Alles da, was es für einen großen Wein braucht: Fülle, Kraft und feine Balance. Hängt vielleicht ein bisschen zur Säure-Seite und lässt ein wenig (Frucht/Extrakt-) Süße vermissen. Wie gesagt, nur ein bisschen. Dafür eine ganz besondere leichte Würze, die wohl vom Malbec kommt. Und ein langer, beeindruckend intensiver Abgang... Meines Erachtens jetzt auf dem Höhepunkt, vielleicht schon ein wenig darüber. Trinken -2025. 1Std vorher karaffiert, hat ihm gut getan...

March 26, 2021 - Powerful and balanced bordeaux blend. Compromise between new and old world. Still a lot of primary fruit, black fruit; dark plum, blackberry, dark cherry. Smooth satin tannins and modest oak. Developing tertiary aromas and flavours; leather, forest floor. At peak in a couple of years perhaps, but can be cellared for another 10.
