The nose, with its tobacco, herbs, flowers, red currants, cedar and spice pops with little effort. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, crisp, chewy and loaded with savory-tinted red fruits with ample, sweetness to the soft, supple, cherries in the finish. The wine is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. It is interesting to note that this is the highest percentage of Cabernet used in the blend in the history of the estate. Drink from 2025-2045.

UGCB tasting-Amsterdam 2021 Bordeaux 03-04-2024: As with Beychevelle, this wine has its 'point fort' in the second past of the taste experience with smooth bitters and tannins in the aftertaste, and also the juicy midtaste shows more ripeness than usual in this vintage; only the bouquet gives a modest impression (some ripe red fruit).

Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot. Der Duft ist delikat, floral, ein Hauch Tabak, Kräuter, rote und dunkle Beeren, verspielt. Im Gaumen schlank, saftige Frucht, ungemein knackig und tänzerisch leicht, die Tannine sind nicht überbordend, machen sich im hinteren Gaumen bemerkbar, stützen zusammen mit der Säure die Frucht. Langanhaltend im Abgang, hat Finesse. 2025-2040+ (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

UGCB Amsterdam, walkaround tasting so just short notes.: Beautiful juice, ripe dark berries, good acidity and well dosed oak. Good length. Beautiful wine. 92 – 93
