Peter Moser - Falstaff

Dark ruby, opaque core, violet tints, delicate bright rim. Attractive dark berry confit, nuances of liquorice, floral notes, delicate mineral, a hint of orange zest, fine bouquet. Juicy, elegant, ripe cherries, full of energy and freshness, fine tannins, salty minerality, lemony touch on the finish, delicate style with enormous length, sure future potential.

Jane Anson - Decanter

Another stunning vintage from this brilliant estate that is just delivering hit after hit. Concentration and intensity right from the initial aromatics, damson, cassis and blackberry fruits that you could almost drink now until the tannins build up across the palate and remind you that this is built to last. Velvety texture, black chocolate and crushed stone minerality on the finish. One of the wines of the vintage. Tasted twice, one week apart. 60% 1st wine. A yield of 45hl/ha.

James Suckling

Blackberries and black chocolate with licorice and berry highlights. Flowers and crushed stones, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Plenty going on here. Very subtle and refined for this estate. Needs two or three years to come together. Try after 2024.
