JAMES SUCKLING: "Softness and finesse to this red with blackberries, blackcurrants and light chocolate undertones. Hazelnuts, too. Medium body, fine tannins and a creamy-textured finish."

VINUM: "Rauchige Nase, schwarze Kirschen, Cassis, Brombeere; straffer Auftakt, ungemein knackige Frucht, seidiges Tannin, zeigt viel Dynamik dieses Jahr, hat grossartige Anlagen. Ein Spitzen-Moulis."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zartes Nugat, reife schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Zwetschken, feine Kräuterwürze, einladendes Bukett. Komplex, feine Herzkirschnote, Brombeeren, reife, tragende Tannine, feine Extraktsüße, gute Länge, mineralischer Nachhall, gutes Reifepotenzial."

WEINWISSER: "Bezauberndes blaubeeriges Bouquet, betörende Fliedernote, parfümierter Pfeifentabak und Heidelbeerdrops. Am satten Gaumen mit weicher Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, feinpfeffrigem Extrakt und fleischigem Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale blaue Beeren, Graphit und mehlige Adstringenz."

DECANTER: "Rich and concentrated, quite a full expression, a little extracted with a touch dry blackcurrant, black cherry and plum fruit, but there’s concentration and juiciness here, just all quite forward and potent. But there is finesse too, and I think in time this will settle and become very pleasant. Feels well constructed, muscular, and strong. Ageing 50% new oak, 8% amphoras."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Chewy, with an herbal, floral, bright, firm character from start to finish, give it a year or two in the bottle to round out its edges. Drink from 2026-2036."
