The palate is where the wine shines with its sweet, ripe, plums, black cherries, cocoa, soft tannins and polished, sense of refinement in the mid palate and in the finish. The wine is a blend of 66% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot. 14% ABV. Drink from 2025-2040. 93-95 Pts.Verkostnotiz Wine Enthusiast:94-96 Barrel sample. The wine is spicy with a smoky edge. Ripe tannins come through the dense toasty character, as well as the juicy, fresh aftertaste. It is an impressive, solid wine with considerable potential.Verkostnotiz Falstaff:Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart gewürzig-pfeffrig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeerfrucht, reife Herzkirschen, Nugat, sehr einladendes Bukett. Kräftig, komplex, dunkle Frucht, kühler Touch, feste, tragende Tannine, mineralisch und anhaftend, dunkles Nugat im Nachhall, wird von einigen Jahren Flaschenreife profitieren.
