Perhaps I got a rogue bottle, but this was a big disappointment, I expected a lot more. Nose light very little black fruit perhaps a hint of bakckberry. Dry and high acidity, tannins and alcohol (burns). Light flavour, sour fruit more red cherry than blackberry on the palate. Balsamic almost sulphourous. Finish not agreeable. No this bottle is poor.

Espresso, black cherry, smoke, licorice, plums and dark cherries create a complex nose. On the palate the wine is round, sweet, soft and polished, finishing with a nice sweetness to the dark red fruits with a touch of spice in the end note. This is a superb Bordeaux value wine that savvy consumers should take a serious look at. Drink from 2023-2034.

91 vvPunkte (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 14%, verkostet im Dezember 2021 in Windisch). Mittleres Rubinrot. Die Nase zeigt einen Mix aus reifer Frucht, Röstnoten und Kräutern, dazu gesellen sich mit Luft Aromen, die an angekohltes Holz erinnern. Im Gaumen erstaunlich zugänglich, fast harmlos, mit fein gewobenen Gerbstoffen, einer saftigen Frucht und guter Harmonie, der relativ hohe Alkohol ist gut verpackt. Langer, fruchtiger Abgang mit kräuterwürzigen Retroaromen. Ein charmanter Essbegleiter. 2024-2037. vvWine.ch

Promising signs for Bordeaux 2019 : Cru Bourgeois sampling (Strasbourg, France): Black fruit but more reticent on the nose than some of the others. A bit of wet stone that is neither oak nor fruit, but the wine itself! Lovely, subtle fruit driven notes: really juicy on the palate. An opulence, with tannic edge. A bit heady, on the finish. Tasted over next few days, and it held up nicely.

As expected. Bit of meaty character, straight shooter.
Black cherry, bit of liquorice, tobacco and leather. Decent length.
89-90 points
