I'd like to mention at the very beginning that this review will not be objective, because there are two flavors in this wine that I love and have a weakness for, namely black currants and blueberries. And they're present in both smell and taste. But let's start from the beginning or the wine stood in the decanter for 3 hours and magic happened. Incredibly drinkable with perfect balance and harmony, it's hard to find anything to criticize. The only thing that comes to my mind is the lack of contrast and surprise The smell - lovely aromas of black currant and blueberries (one more time), earth, red cherry, black cherry, plum. Taste - I won't mention what I wrote above. What else? Kirsch, tobacco (big and nice), spice, vanilla. I think this wine is like a bridge between too 'sweet" Napa wines and too "unsweet" Bordeaux wines. My think 🤔🙂
2015 vintage got 93 points according to the WA Vintage Guide. Outstanding. Early maturing and accessible And the wine... JS - 94 WE - 93 TWI - 93 Jeff Leve - 92 Decanter - 92 RP - 91 WS - 90 JD -90

Geruch: Sauber. Intensive Aromen von Brombeere, schwarzer Holunder, Schokolade, Pilz, Tabak. Erste Reifenoten.
Geschmack: Trocken, mittlere, prägnante Säure, Alkohol 13.5%, mittlere, feine Tannine, voller Körper mit mittleren Aromen wie in der Nase, mittlerer Abgang.
Schlussfolgerung: Sehr gute Qualität. Der Wein hat eine tolle Balance, viel Druck und Komplexität, einzig im Abgang etwas abfallend. Jetzt trinken, hat aber noch Lagerpotential.

Rich and dense but still young. Let other bottles sit.
