Vinum: Ein nobler Cabernet-Duft wie aus dem Bilderbuch; Cassis, etwas Quitte, Lavendel, das Holz subtil im Hintergrund; fleischiger Gaumen, knackig, saftig, baut viel Druck auf, wuchtig, dabei nicht schwerfällig, mit grossartiger Säure und feinsten Gerbstoffen; im Abgang mit grosser aromatischer Länge. Dieser Wein ist voller Spannung und Rasse. Grosse Klasse."

Decanter: Rich blackcurrant aromatics, almost sweet and cool at the same time - smells so welcoming with some cola and flint touches too. The florality though is incredible, so aromatic. Svelte and long, this is focused with a clean, really sapid expression and gorgeous juiciness - almost with a sweetness that just makes you smile before focusing and straightening with a crushed stone aspect on the finish. More red fruits than black like Ferriere. Great construction with such gentle tannins, really quite flawless with a clear cola and flint aspect. A yield of 25hl/ha. Ageing 18 months, 45% new barrels, 40% foudres and 15% in amphoras."

James Suckling: A complex and complete wine already, with berry, cherry, orange peel, terra cotta and dried mushroom aromas. Medium-bodied with a pretty core of fruit and crunchy tannins. Savory finish. A blend of 91% cabernet sauvignon and 9% merlot, From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification."

Jane Anson: Rosebud, liquorice, beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon character, savoury but super floral and characterful, lots of lift and tension, great quality, There is an edge of austerity that you feel will really benefit from the ageing - which is the feel overall of this vintage, where the ageing will be important. Harvest September 4 to 24. Yield 25 hl/ha. 45% new oak. 3.7 pH,"

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Cassis, Brombeerkonfit unterlegt, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, zart nach Preiselbeeren. Saftig, elegant, reife Kirschenfrucht, Nuancen von Brombeeren, reife Tannine, gute Frische, straff und mineralisch, leichtfüßig, ein facettenreicher, vitaler Speisenbegleiter."
