Flowers. espresso, roasted plums, incense, chocolate-coated black cherries, and smoke create the attention-seeking perfume. On the palate, the wine packed with rich, spicy, black raspberries, plums, and black cherries, with nuances of dark chocolate, licorice, espresso and spice, with a dash of salt that comes in at the end of the finish. The yields were low at 20 hectoliters hectare, about half of the normal production, so this is going to be very hard, if not impossible to find after release. This is a very strong wine for the vintage. Drink from 2025-2045.

Espresso beans, roasted plums, incense, spice, black cherries, flowers and wet earth fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is plush and polished, soft, silky and fresh with concentrated layers of espresso tinted, spicy cherries, plums, cocoa and blackberries as well as a touch of chalk in the endnote. 13.4% ABV, the harvest took place September 29-October 4. The yields were low at 20 hectoliters hectare, about half of the normal production, so this is going to be very hard, if not impossible to find after release. Drink from 2025-2045. 93-95
