Tasting notes
Fully ripe fruits, smoky and creamy character with charred raspberry and cassis, violet-edged, pencil lead, bitter chocolate, cocoa dust. An impressive wine, tannins close in a little tightly on the finish, with dried rosemary and black pepper spicy translating the heat of the vintage. 31hl/h yield, 3.65ph.

Gorgeous aromatics, vibrant but deep too. Tannins make the impact straight away, there’s good density here, clear concentration this is carrying some heft in the really quite potent dark fruit flavours, spiced edges and sense of heat that comes through the underneath. Broad but focussed, definitely more streamlined than wide and plush, with almost chewy tannins but that have a pure cool blue fruit, liquorice and slate grip to them giving them edges and creating the linear focus. Feels well constructed, still on the tense nervous side but it has an appealing juicy grip too. 3.8pH. 50% grand vin, 50% second wine. 3.8pH. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
Un nez sombre, épicé, scintillant, qui s'ouvre sur une explosion de fleurs et une belle intensité fruitée. Quelle fraîcheur élégante, florale et féminine en bouche. Un vin qui rend heureux, avec une finale qui reste toutefois sérieuse, aux tannins fins, finement granuleux et une arrière-finale salivante et minérale.
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, Nuancen von Zwetschken, etwas Nougat, kandierte Orangenzesten, feine tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, gute Komplexität, feines Säurespiel, reife Tannine, salzige Mineralität, bereits zugänglich, zeigt Charme und gute Länge. (01/25, +25)
