  Austere, firm, crunchy, cassis and cranberry notes with a spicy, earthy, tobacco and crisp red berry finish.

  positive ueberraschung nach den eher bescheidenen tasting notes. kirschen und blumige noten in der nase, ebenfalls im gaumen, dazu dezentes vanille. gutes preis/leistungsverhaeltnis. wird den peak in den naechsten 2 jahren erreicht haben.

  Had 3 bottles the last couple months.
  Dark red color, fruity nose with dark berries on the palate. Medium body with a short-medium finish with good integrated tannins.
  I agree with the previous note, after approx. 2 hours, the wine got to smooth and less fruity.
  Don`t decant and drink within the first 2 hours !!
  Drink up.

  Dark purple-red color. Light-medium body. On the nose, definite cabernet sauvignon with some heat, which soon blows off. After two hours, the wine becomes very smooth with pleasant red fruits. Actually too smooth; it comes across as unidimensional and bland. The cabernet s. that was once on the nose is nowhere to be found on the palate. It drinks too easily; way too easily. Unexciting and unimpressive, if also inoffensive. If you have it, you may as well drink it now.

  The wine has a red garnet color. The nose is rich with classic St Estephe aromas, the nose of a young wine, spicy with green peppercorn, shows pleasant green vegetables: asparagus and green bell pepper mixed with smoked dark cherry, red currant, plums and a touch of discreet oak. In the mouth this medium body wine is enjoyable, balanced and accessible, with a pleasant mouth feel and acidity and plenty of red fruits and spicy flavors. The finish is medium, with a mix of spices, asparagus and firm tannins in the aftertaste. The wine will benefit from more years of aging.The wine was drank from a Magnum.
