"Diese Cuvée aus 55% Cabernet Sauvignon und 45% Merlot ist Prince Charming. Der Duft springt geradezu aus dem Glas mit Backpflaume, Brombeermarmelade und einigen Amarena-Kirschen. Am Gaumen supersofte Tannine und leicht balsamische Noten. All das endet in einem röstigen Kaffeefinish, das zum nächsten Glas animiert."

"90-92. Barrel Sample. This wine is spicy, ripe and gently textured. With hints of stalkiness, the black currant fruits are light and crisp with a squeeze of blackberry juice coming through. It is more about fruit than structure."

"Intense hue with crimson highlights. Profound, focused nose mingling black berry fruits and notes of liquorice. The palate shows fullness, refined, tightly-wound tannins, fat yet also freshness. A nicely-crafted 2010 with emphasis on finesse and fruit."

"(2011) Similarly, a very sweet fruit profile with a creaminess and bold, floral-licked fruit. The palate has a big dry tannic structure, but again that very sweet fruit does carry through. Possibly a little more structure than the Pez, and a real juiciness too."

88 of 100 Points.

"Deep colour, young rim. Fairly muted woody nose, deploying a clutch of floral and fruity fragrances. On the palate, beautiful framework, quite melted, fullness, fruit. A relatively complete wine whose youthfulness is the only hindrance to full expression."

"Three elements, already in balance, contribute to the success of this wine. First, the rich fruit, juicy blackberry and mulberry, lifted by acidity. Second, the new wood, which spices the fruit but is already smoothing out the third element, the dark firm tannic layer."

91 of 100 Points.

"Boasts layers of wood, with black currant and rich white fig flavors, along with dried fruits. This is a ripe, opulent wine reflecting the heat of 2003 in Bordeaux, but still retaining dry tannins that promise aging."

"A plump and full wine with forest, cedar, cocoa and black fruit aromas. Handsome fruit with earth, plum and carob elements on the palate. Earthy finish of medium length, with some drying tannins. Already drinkable, it should shine even more in two years."

85 of 100 Points.

"A much less dense wine than either '95 or '96, reflecting the vintage. Red berry fruit aromas with dusty tobacco notes. Lighter, juicy mouthfeel with chocolate and leather notes. Mildly drying finish. Well-made but light, with a definite herbaceous quality."
