  Medium reddish-purple garnet in color; almost opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with earthy/dusty & floral overtones, tobacco, mint, spices, loam/herbs, minerals, & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with herbs, minerals, spices & a hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging if cellared properly. Very good QPR.

  91-92 vvPunkte (44% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, 14.05% Alkohol, 20% neue Barriques) In der Nase mit intensiver Cassisfrucht, auch Brombeeren, die Frucht springt förmlich aus dem Glas, wirkt klar und rein, dazu eine feine Würze, steinig kühle Noten. Im Gaumen gradlinig und wieder sehr fruchtbetont, keinerlei Holzdominanz, mittlerer Körper, feine, reife Gerbstoffe und eine top integrierte Säure stützen, man möchte gleich Schlucken, so verführerisch ist dieser Wein. Endet im Abgang wieder fruchtbetont und hallt angenehm lange nach. Sehr balanciert! 2024-2044 (Mai 2021) vvWine.ch

  Dark in color, the wine opens with persuasive notes of cedar, creme de cassis, tobacco and forest leaf in the perfume. Full-bodied, ripe, rich and packed with crisp, juicy currants, the wine finishes with a big mouthful of firm, chewy blackberries, currants and a refreshing sprig of mint on the backend. 91-93
