A great bottle offers dried tobacco and leather notes along with dried black fruits and flowers. Tannins and acidity are still prominent and firm.

"Leuchtendes, strahlendes Rubinrot. In der Nase zart würzig, etwas Kirschen und Himbeeren, dazu zartes nach Unterholz, insgesamt von mittlerem Ausdruck, dennoch einladend. Am Gaumen geschliffen, mit samtigem Tannin, bereits äußerst zugänglich, trinkt sich hervorragend, im Finale salzig und strahlend."

"Molto delicato ed essenziale rivela una delicata estrazione dei componenti polifenolici ed un sottofondo erbaceo che dona grazie e personalità. I sentori principali sono ciliegie, ribes e melagrana ai quali si aggiungono sfumature di bergamotto. Corpo medio, tannini leggermente rigidi che avranno bisogno di tempo per venir fuori ed un finale compresso ma di ottima qualità. Meglio dal 2022."

Am Gaumen stoffig und fest, öffnet sich mit viel dichtmaschigem Tannin, sehr kraftvoll, im hinteren Bereich fester Druck und satter Biss, angelegt für ein langes Leben."

"Aromas of raspberry compote, coconut and a whiff of oak-driven spice lead the nose. On the firm, linear palate, assertive fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity support cherry, pomegranate and clove. It's still youthfully austere and needs a few more years to fully come around.
