95 Points

Sunday, December 17, 2023 - Decanted off sediment. But the wine also really benefitted of 1-2 hours in the decanter. Lovely and complex notes of cassis, dark cherries, leather, cedar wood, also some forest floor, pine tree, graphite/lead pencil minerality, also some sweet spices and some horsesaddle. It‘s medium-full bodied, with pretty high acidity, some medium+ tannin that has melted away a little more. Long finish with nice complexity. This is not my „cleanest“ bottle, there could be a touch of brett, but overall a great old-school Bordeaux from this very good year. If the bottle was even more pristine, I would probably rate it even higher.
