ANSON: "Inky colour, and a purity of fruits on the aromatics, with well-teased out ripe plum and cassis character. Here the terroir is speaking over the vintage, delivering peony, iris, lilacs, fine tannic architecture, with salinity that flows through the acidity, giving juice without agressivity. First year official certified organic. 34hl/h yield, early deleafing in June, and waiting to harvest, until September 27 through to October 7. Density sorting here, plus cold soak, 55% new oak barrels."

VINUM: "Tiefdunkle Farbe; komplexe Nase, Veilchen und Lavendelblüten über reifer, dunkler Frucht, Brombeeren und Schwarzkirschen dominieren, daneben etwas Blutorangen, das Ganze unterlegt von einer mineralischen Note; am Gaumen gradlinig, frisch, dabei kompakt, seidige Gerbstoffe verleihen Halt, machen sich erst ganz hinten im Gaumen bemerkbar, die markante Säure verleiht Frische; langer Abgang auf einen Mix aus roten und dunklen Beeren, endet salin. Einmal mehr ein sicherer Wert, finessenreich, harmonisch."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "With a floral character, the wine exudes a violet-filled perfume, enriched with notes of black cherries, plums, cocoa, and truffle. On the palate, it is soft, supple, fresh, and creamy, showcasing a lively energy with layers of black raspberries, chocolate-topped strawberries, and cherries, leading to a soft, vibrant finish. With just a year or two in the bottle, it will be easy to enjoy for 15 or more years. It is important to note that 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the property purchased by the family. Harvesting took place September 27 - October 5. The wine blends 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc. 13.2% ABV. Drink from 2028-2044."
