April 18, 2024 - Im Glas dunkles, leicht transparentes rot.
In der Nase dominieren Alterungsnoten mit Leder, Rumrosinen, getrockneten Früchten und Gewürzen. Unterlegt wird das Ganze mit Fruchtnoten von dunklen Kirschen und etwas Pflaume. Mit etwas Luft ist auch frischer Tabak im Hintergrund.
Eine relativ klare, relativ intensive und sehr komplexe Nase.
Am Gaumen ist der Wein überraschend frisch! Dunkle Kirsche im Antrunk gefolgt von herben getrockneten Kräutern und viel feinen Tanninen von der Mitte bis in den Nachhall. Die Tannine sind aber schön integriert. Im Hintergrund kommt noch ein leichter Bitter-Touch dazu.
Eine schöne Länge am Gaumen und mittlere Länge im Nachhall.
Mit etwas Luft hat der Wein ein wenig zugelegt und die Gerbstoffe haben sich etwas mehr integriert.
Schöner Wein mit Sekundär- und Tertiär-Aromen im Vordergrund in der Range 89 - 90 / 100. -

March 22, 2024 - This wine is holding up well after 15 years. The nose is dusty leather with dried fruit, but the taste is surprisingly fresh and balanced, even shoeing residual soft tannins on the finish.

December 1, 2023 - Plenty of structure here. Medium plus tannin. Four square bordeaux that will age without a big price. Overdelivers on value.
Drink now or hold up to 2029. -

November 20, 2023 - A hint of freshness mixed with plenty of tertiary flavours. Lacking intensity causing the high drying tannins to dominate the palate, leading to a slightly unpleasant bitter finish. Unfortunately I think this is past its prime.
Deep garnet colour.
Medium intensity aromas of plum, ripe strawberry, ripe red cherry, vanilla, decomposing leaves, leather and mushroom.
Medium intensity palate.
Medium (+) body, high acidity, high grippy tannins, medium finish.2 people found this helpful Comment -
