James Suckling: "Blackberry, iron, hazelnut, crushed stone, hints of salt and spice. Medium to full body. Fresh and vivid. Very sophisticated and classy. The tannins are silky and so fine, but then it opens up at the end of the palate."

Weinwisser: "72 % Merlot, 18 % Cabernet Franc, 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 hl/ha, pH 3.60, 14.5 Vol.-%. Was für ein erotisches Parfüm, Wildkirsche, edle Cassiswürze, betörende Veilchen, getrocknete Fliederblüten und Schokopastillen. Am vielschichtigen, durchtrainierten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, balancierter Rasse und edlem mineralischen Kern. Im konzentrierten, langanhaltenden Finale schwarze Johannisbeere, Wildkirsche, dunkle Mineralik und erhabenes Finale. Gehört in seiner Klasse zu den Besten! 2030 – 2050."

Decanter: "Gorgeous dark purple colour in the glass. It smells spiced and nuanced with dark bramble fruit touches. Smooth and shiny, this has a glamorous appeal with juicy, succulent fruit edged by a mineral liquorice aspect and some cool, crushed stone saltiness. I love the purity and charm here, not too tense or straight, more wide and expansive with plenty of friendliness. Totally seductive with acidity and fruit strength. Lovely. Tasted twice. Yield: 40hl/ha. 3.60pH. 30% new barrels. HVE3 certified."

Falstaff: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholznuancen, dunkle Kirschen, reife Zwetschken, ein Hauch von Nugat. Straff, saftig, Herzkirschen, feine Extraktsüße, feine Säurestruktur, seidig und elegant, bleibt gut haften, mineralischer Nachhall zeigt Länge, zartes Nugat im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter mit sicherem Reifepotenzial."
