"Dunkles, leuchtendes Granat. Zurückhaltende, leicht mineralische Nase, dunkelbeerig, lederwürzig, komplex und fein. Am Gaumen tolle Harmonie, einprägsam und geschliffen, spannt sich mit kernig-salzigem Tannin weit und lange aus, lang, mit vielen Schichten, im Finish abermals salzig."

"Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin mit schwarzem Kern. Sehr intensive und dichte Nase, nach Cassis und Brombeeren, sehr klar, im Hintergrund nach Koriandersamen. Baut sich am Gaumen mächtig auf, viel süße Frucht, satt nach Cassis und Tabak, öffnet sich mit dichtmaschige Tannin, im hinteren Verlauf leider recht rau, hat viel Potential, derzeit aber noch sehr unausgereift."
