ANSON: "Love the bright fruit, just a slight kiss of cedar and sandalwood oak, even a touch of incense. Not huge depths compared to some vintages but they really have leaned in and delivered a vivid, sappy and mouth watering wine, with confident tannins. 45hl/h yield. 40th anniversary vintage of Hubert de Böuard."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart nach Lakritze und Gewürznelken, schwarze Waldbeeren, feine Kräuterwürze, Nuancen von Preiselbeeren. Saftig, elegant, rote Kirschfrucht, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, mineralisch-salzig, ein delikater, lebendiger Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Chocolate-covered plums, black raspberries, espresso, black cherries, and licorice fill the perfume. Vibrant, fresh, and juicy, the fruits are lively, soft, sweet, and have a touch of crushed rocks and stones that emerge at the end of the finish. With a year or so in the bottle, you can enjoy this wine 12 to 15 years after that. The wine blends 90% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2040."

VINUM: "Leuchtendes Rubin; im Duft trotz 55 Prozent Neuholz keine Dominanz der Röstaromen, Blaubeeren, Himbeeren, kühler Rauch; gradlinig am Gaumen, saftig, lebendig, präziser Holzeinsatz, feinkörnige Tannine, rotfruchtiges Finale mit einem Hauch von Süssholz im Rückaroma."
