Ripe, concentrated, voluptuous, full bodied. Lots of ripe red fruit. Plums, dried cherries, ripe white peaches, fig marmalade. Very well integrated - no rough edges, well balanced, even keel and at a perfect spot now. Great wine!

On the nose: loads of fruit, plums and lightly smokey spices, oak. On the palette: nice balanced acidity by dark voluptuous jammy fruit without being cooked, long finish, chewy. Not overly complex; it's more bold and "in your face". Soft tannins. Decant it, it needs the air and will soften up quite a bit in the decanter.

Nase mit dunkler Frucht, am Gaumen komplex mit Holz und Tanninen gut integriert, dicht. Verschlossen. Nicht sicher, wohin die Reise geht.

Nose with dark fruit, cherry, very promising. On palate somewhat below expectations as alcohol too dominant.
