91/100 Punkte Vinous Jan 2016
Brilliant ruby. Pungent and complex, redolent of smoke- and mineral-accented cherry liqueur and cassis, with emerging pipe tobacco, dark chocolate and licorice notes. The palate opens up slowly, revealing bitter cherry and violet pastilles, along with spicecake, coconut and a sharpening peppery nuance. Fine-grained tannins and a sexy floral edge give shape to a long, incisive finish.

Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe,breitere Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte reife Pflaumenfrucht, feines Waldbeerkonfit, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Elegant, feine Extraktsüße, integrierte Tannine, wirkt leichtfüssig und frisch strukturiert, reife Kirschen im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter.

(fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for a year in used French and American oak casks of varying size) Ruby-red. Ripe blueberry, incense and potpourri on the perfumed nose, joined by woodsmoke and allspice nuances that build in the glass. Sweet and seamless in the mouth; intense red and blue fruit liqueur flavors deepen and spread out slowly on the back half. Discreet tannins come in late to shape the long, spice-tinged finish.
