Appearance: Very dark with purple rim, 5 points Aromas: Immediately after opening very closed. Only hints of all the nice aromas mentioned by the other reviewers. After two days in the bottle the wine had opened up and showed wonderful aromas, 11 points. Palate: Very concentrated but in balance, 14 points. Overall: 9 points. Should propably be kept another 4-5 years to show its best.

Deep dark ruby. Plum, earth, sous bois with a hint of menthol in the nose. A bit of oak at the beginning that seemed to integrate in the glass with air. Rich palate with dark fruits, good acid/fruit balance, moderate dry extract, dusty tannins and nice lift on the finish. Needs time....at least 2-3 years.
Very dark in the glass. The nose here is deep tart red fruit, very pleasing, some mineral notes in there, asphalt and 90% dark chocolate. Pretty red fruit and red grapes on the palate, very full intensity, like chewing up a mouthful of tart blackberries and red grapes with seeds. Strongly structured, very strong acidity. Long finish, the acidity and tannin hold on for 20+ seconds. Drinking great now although this will obviously improve with time. Very well balanced even now, just high intensity all the way around. 89+

Dunkles Rubinrot; verhältnismäßig intensive Aromen von Pflaume, Brombeere, Kräuterduft, gepaart mit mineralischen Noten. Am Gaumen klar, kräftige Säure, mittelkörnige Tannine, guter Abgang. Robuster, leckerer Villages!
