Clean dark red --- Nose fresh, red fruit, mint, sour cherries, elegant wood notes, black cherry jam, touch of nice green aspects --- Palate fresh, watery, a lot of fruit coming through, red and black fruit, cherries, red currant, raspberry, some blackberry, excellent acidity adding freshness and vitality, some flowery aspects --- Finishes pretty long on black fruit flavors, nice acidity flashing back, nice tartness. Very nice vine, precise, delicious and classy. 93+

Big, voluptuous, smoked wood type of Bordeaux that has the depth of fruit to support the super woody, smoky notes. It feels like it survived a forrest fire. Very nice, bold, big, delicious merlot wine with distinct cabernet franc influence. Everyone liked this! Will buy more...Drink now, its at perfect peak.

Black, some red shimmer --- Nose fire stone, burnt wood, red currant, some cherry, some ash, some violets, flowery aspects, earthiness, balsamic notes, some licorice --- Palate watery, acidic, very nice tart and sour notes, which are so elegant, reminds me of Galardi´s 2007 Terra di Lavoro so much, some bacon, cherries again, minerals and ash dominant in the first place and then fruit arises, overall elegant and classy --- Finishes rather long on its beautiful tartness, fruitiness and minerals. This one is a statement or as Gloria Ganor sang " I am what I am". The combination of a bold character and freshness and fruitiness is impressive. A little bit too much on the smoky side. Gaining deliciousness with aeration. Excellent vine. Drink now and coming 2 years.

1 hour decant. Dark purple color. Right in the drinking window. Floral and graphite nose. Deep, dark cherries on the palate with elements of earth, vanilla, oak, and blueberry. Complex and high quality. I’ll be sourcing more! Big wine!
