2017 Alter Ego de Palmer tbd

Alter Ego de Palmer gehört 2017 zur Speerspitze der besten Zweitweine im Bordelais. Genau wie der Grand Vin profitiert er ganz klar von der 100-prozentigen Umstellung auf Biodynamik bei Château Palmer. Auffällig präsente Frucht (Blaubeere, Pflaume, Mix süßer hellroter Früchte), delikate Tannine verleihen dem Alter Ego viel Druck am Gaumen, kraftvoll, frisch mit einer herausragenden Länge im Abgang! (93+ Punkte) James Suckling 94/100 Punkte "This shows excellent body and depth of fruit. Rich and very deep. Layered and flavorful. Solid and chewy. Serious second wine." Wine Enthusiast 91-93/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Soft and silky, this is a rounded, ripe wine. It has just enough gentle tannins to sustain the generous black fruits and acidity. This is going to be a ripe, fruity wine as it develops. Drink from 2022." Wine Spectator 89-92/100 Punkte "Lively, featuring lots of lavender and savory hints mixed with black cherry and plum flavors. Shows a light bramble note. Open-knit, with juicy energy on the finish.—J.M." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 90-92/100 Punkte "A blend of 53% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is very deep purple-black in color and gives up exuberant crushed red currants, red cherries, black plums and mulberries with touches of forest floor, garrigue and lavender plus a waft of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with a good core of plummy fruit and very soft, plush tannins, sparked by just enough freshness, finishing fruity." Vinous (Neal Martin): 89-91/100 Punkte "The 2017 Alter Ego is matured in 25% new oak. It has quite a rich, dark chocolate-tinged bouquet that is driven by the Merlot, almost Right Bank in style. It just lacks the same detail and clarity as the Grand Vin. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, nicely balanced, certainly one of the more approachable Alter Ego in recent years with a touch of spice and clove towards the finish. Trinkreife: 2021-2035" Decanter: 95/100 Punkte "It's very interesting to watch a 'super-second' risk scaling back the muscular attributes of its wine. The key, says director Thomas Duroux, was building the blend carefully and using the press wines to preserve the mid-palate (12% press in this wine, around the same as the 2015). It's less powerful and concentrated than the last few vintages, and yet the wine feels sculpted and sewn into place. The fine tannins are extremely clear and precise, and there's a purity of fruit expression that gives an overwhelming initial impression. The aromatics are really striking, offering an abundance of violet notes on the nose with huge finesse. It just gets better and better in the mouth,, and the tannins do that slow-build thing that is so disarming. This has clear ageing potential. Very low SO2 use for the past few years, in keeping with their biodynamic principles. Just one plot of Petit Verdot for the grand vin was hit by frost. Harvested 20-29 September. 11,000 cases of Palmer, representing 55% of the crop. Drinking Window 2026 – 2040” Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

2017 Château Haut Brion 2017 Ch. Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 6HK

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95-97/100 Punkte "Composed of 53% Merlot, 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.3% Cabernet Franc, the very deep purple-black colored 2017 Haut-Brion is a little closed on the nose, revealing fresh blackberries, black currants and dark chocolate with suggestions of pencil shavings, beef drippings, tilled soil and cracked black pepper plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it has very firm, ripe, grainy tannins and a lively backbone structuring the tightly knit earth and black fruit layers, finishing with compelling mineral and perfumed layers." Vinous (Neal Martin): 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Haut-Brion was picked from 31 August to 29 September, the longest harvest ever, matured in 69% new oak with 14.25% alcohol (lower than recent vintages.) It has a more generous bouquet than the La Mission Haut-Brion at this point: black cherries, blueberry, a little confit fruit, hints of warm gravel and clove. It is much more restrained than the previous vintages – cooler and linear. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, nicely structured with more grip in the mouth than the La Mission. What it has in common with the aforementioned is a sense of symmetry. It feels very persistent with a light marine/oyster shell influence on the finish. This probably has the edge over the La Mission Haut-Brion at the moment, but intra-family competitiveness aside, it boils down to a great follow-up to the brilliant 2015 and 2016." Wine Enthusiast: 97-99/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. The tannins are the secret of this bold wine granting longevity and great structure. At the same time, the ripe blackberry fruits are rich yet bright and fresh. The wine will take time to mature. Drink from 2025." Decanter: 97/100 Punkte "A hugely captivating wine, one of the contenders for red of the vintage. There´s an incredible plush, dense texture to the fruit here, with just the slightest pulling back on the final section that suggests the damson, cassis and black cherry fruit is not at the full extent of ripeness seen in 2016 and 2015, but there is absolutely no question that this is a successful, rich and well-expressed wine. It´s extremely powerful and well constructed, with great tannins and a succulence which grows through the palate. 3.73pH." James Suckling: 98/100 Punkte "A tight and focused red with dark-berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a linear and fine finish. Very refined. Elegant and balanced." Weinwisser: 19+/20 Punkte "53 % Merlot, 40,7 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6,3 % Cabernet Franc. Dichtes Granatrubin mit violettem Rand. Komplexes, tiefes Bouquet mit Anklängen an Leder, roten Johannisbeeren und Himbeeren. Im zweiten Ansatz verführerische Nuancen von Veilchen, Darjeeling und Mokka. Am Gaumen ein Traum aus seidiger Textur und perfekt stützenden Tanninen, feinspröder Extrakt, trotzdem fesselnd und ergreifend. Im langen Finale eine Symphonie aus Wildkirschen, Palisandernoten und Graphit. Ein ganz grosser, klassischer Haut-Brion, dem der Jahrgang sprichwörtlich in die Hände spielt und diesmal ganz knapp hinter Les Carmes Haut-Brion auf Platz 2 in Pessac kommt. Tendenz steigend, da ist noch mehr Musik drin. 2028 – 2060" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

2018 Château La Mission Haut-Brion CRU CLASSÉ PESSAC-LÉOGNAN A.C.

Traditionell gemeinsam mit Château Haut Brion verkostet. In diesem Jahr war mit leichtem Vorsprung Mission unser Favorit! Am Gaumen erhaben, mächtig, der Körper kraftvoll umgeben von einer wunderbaren Aromatik schwarzer Beeren und einem massiv konzentrierten Nachhall. Ein großer klassischer La Mission Haut Brion mit Potenzial für mehr als 50 Jahre! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 98-100/100 Punkte »The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is composed of 53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 10 to October 2. Deep purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a beguiling nose of earth and soft-spoken fruit, opening with wild blueberries, wet slate, pencil lead and fresh black cherries giving way to a serious core of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and wild sage, and then exposing delicate wafts of rose hip tea and candied violets. Full-bodied, the palate is very tightly wound and super intense with amazing restraint and energy focused around very firm, exquisitely fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing incredibly long and fantastically multilayered. Extraordinary wine.« James Suckling: 97-98/100 Punkte »A tight and linear red with fantastic oyster-shell, iodine and crushed-stone character, complementing the currants and blackberries. Extremely long and fresh.« Decanter: 97/100 Punkte »An extremely fine Mission, just beginning to say its piece. It's dense, gorgeously velvety in texture and bursting with fruit and energy. On the palate you get liquorice and dark chocolate notes, showing clear generosity while easily walking the line of balance. The longer it sits in the glass, the more the minerality takes hold on the mid-palate, doling out its tiny sparks of electricity and holding your attention. The subtle smoke, freshly cut herbs and tight tannins steal up on you, planting their flag in the finish. Harvested 10 September to 2 October, giving a 44hl/ha yield. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. IPT 75.8. The 3.76pH is the highest since 1989. Drinking Window 2023 - 2032« Falstaff: 97/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Reife Beerenfrucht, feiner Feigentouch, ein Hauch von Nougat, einladendes Bukett. Komplex, saftig, reife Herzkirschen, präsente, gut eingebundene Tannine, schokoladiger Nachhall, gut anhaftend, feine Mineralität, zarte Röstaromen im Rückgeschmack, sehr gute Länge.« Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. While the wine is certainly structured, it has all the finesse and elegance that is associated with this estate. Beautiful berry flavors are packed with acidity but supported by generous tannins. This is impressive and obviously will age well.« Weinwisser: 19,5/20 »Die gut 20 Hektar sind ebenfalls im Besitz der Familie Dillon. Das Gut liegt praktisch auf der anderen Strassenseite. 53,5 % Merlot, 3,6 % Cabernet Franc und 42,9 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Auch hier überzeugt schon der hervorragende Zweitwein. Der La Mission wird oft als feiner und «femininer» bezeichnet, dennoch kommt er nicht immer an den Haut-Brion ran. Hier war er aber ganz nah dran und es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn andere ihn sogar gleichauf mit Haut-Brion sehen. Dichtes, weit gefächertes und jetzt schon sehr harmonisch und reif wirkendes Bouquet mit dunkelroter und dunkelblauer Frucht, in der sehr dunkle Kirschen und reife Pflaumen den Ton angeben, auch zart rosinige und dann wieder changierend mineralische Noten schwingen mit. Dazu steigen verführerische Nuancen von Graphit, Arabica und Blumen wie Veilchen und leicht angetrocknete Rosen auf. Hat fast schon was Exotisches, aber im positiven, spannenden Sinne. Auch im Mund ein samtiges Elixier mit traumhaft seidig-cremiger Textur, grosser Balance und Geschmeidigkeit, bei der die Tannine schon voll integriert sind. Wie schon beim Haut-Brion ist die Tanninqualität auf einer anderen Stufe als bei vielen anderen Top-Weinen. Dieser La Mission Haut-Brion ist jetzt schon ein ganz grosses Vergnügen und für denjenigen, der das nötige Kleingeld hat, wird es ein herausragendes Vergnügen sein, diese beiden Traumweine irgendwann in ihrer vollen Blüte nebeneinander verkosten zu können. Trinken 2030 bis 2058« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

2017 Château Mouton-Rothschild tbd

Mit voller Spannung und Vorfreude verkosteten wir Château Mouton Rothschild. In der Nase Cabernet-Frucht pur, Mouton-typische Cassis-Aromen! Dazu leichte Anklänge von Heidel- und Preiselbeere, Pimentos, Tabak. Enorm viel Extrakt am Gaumen. Lange, runde Tannine, wunderbar strukturiert, unglaublich vielschichtig mit traumhafter Länge. Der Block-Buster des Jahrgangs! Weinwisser: 19/20 Punkte "Sattes Granatrubin. Ein verführerisches Elixier mit reifen Brombeeren gepaart mit hellem Tabak und schwarzen Johannisbeerpastillen. Im zweiten Ansatz rote Pflaumen und frisch gemahlener weisser Pfeffer. Am erhabenen Gaumen mit royaler Ausstrahlung, feinmehligem Extrakt und perfekt reifem Tannin, welches bereits abgerundet wirkt. Im gebündelten, sehr langanhaltenden Finale ein Feuerwerk aus Preiselbeeren, roten Kirschen und Burleytabak. Präsentiert sich, wie fast immer, am zugänglichsten von allen drei Pauillac-Premiers und zeigt jetzt schon erotischen Charme mit Tiefe. 2028-2050" James Suckling: 98/100 Punkte "This is a very shy and tight Mouton with blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of terracotta. Full body and very integrated tannins that are extremely polished and beautiful. Spicy and white-pepper finish. Sexy and exciting. So long and refined." Wine Enthusiast: 96-98/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. The wine develops slowly on the palate, gradually revealing its powerful tannins and solid structure. It has the classic black currant fruitiness of Cabernet Sauvignon, to match the robust, lasting tannins. This impressive wine will develop slowly with great power." Decanter: 96/100 Punkte "Vibrancy is one of the key themes of the year in the most successful properties, and this has bright, plump fruit and good depth of colour, even if it´s less concentrated than the past few vintages. The Pauillac first growths have done a great job in 2017, and it´s hard to question the depth of fruit and richness here - there´s no doubting that this is a great Mouton. Cassis and blackberry notes are delivered with precision, but there is a clear restraint that is another signature of 2017, and perhaps doesn´t reflect Mouton´s personality as much as some of its neighbours. There´s not the same weight of tannins as 2016 (around 70 IPT this year, still a high amount), but it´s a beautiful, persistent, gorgeous wine that will age gracefully. 100% new oak. (Image is the 2015 bottle; the design for the 2017 label will be revealed later)." Vinous (Neal Martin): 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Mouton-Rothschild was picked from 7 to 29 September and matured in 100% new oak. This First Growth is driven by the Cabernet Sauvignon, as you would expect given the high percentage, expressive pencil lead and cedar that infuse the slightly introspective black fruit. Dare I say that it actually reminds me of Latour in style? The palate is medium-bodied, finely tuned and precise, a more masculine Mouton-Rothschild compared to the last three vintages, fresh with a sustained, lightly spiced finish that lingers in the mouth. That backbone is accentuated more during my second visit in mid-April. It is a cliché but this Mouton-Rothschild is unashamedly “classic” in style, perchance “le petit frère” of the 2010 MoutonRothschild that also contained a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon (though before you search the archives, yes, the 2011 and 2012 contained the same proportion!) Tasted twice with consistent notes.“ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99/100 Punkte "The 2017 Mouton Rothschild has one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever at 90%, with 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is already singing of crushed black currants, warm blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets, star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves plus wafts of pencil lead and unsmoked cigars. Mediumbodied, wonderfully delicate yet intense in the mouth (gaining some richness in the mid-palate on my second taste two and a half weeks later), it has super fine-grained, smooth tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long with tons of tightly wound layers. Wow. This vintage is going to be very long-lived in the cellar!“ Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

2017 Château Figeac tbd

Auch in diesem Jahr Haute-Couture in der Flasche! Eine in Saint-Émilion so nicht wieder getroffene Fruchtvielfalt! Trotz der reichlichen Aromen, kommt er fast schwerelos und zart daher. Summa summarum ein Fixstern des 2017er Bordeaux-Jahrgangs! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Figeac is composed of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Very deep garnet-purple in color, the nose sings of Cabernet Sauvignon-bright crushed black currants, blackberries and wild blueberries with wafts of lilacs, pencil shavings, tobacco, tilled earth plus a hint of bay leaves. The medium-bodied mouth is fine, elegant, minerally and incredibly vivacious with tons of energy. Bright and refreshing with firm, grainy tannins and a provocative hint of chew, it finishes with great length. This should age wonderfully. 100% new oak was used for this sample and it is very well-integrated." Wine Spectator: 92-95/100 Punkte "Bright and fresh, offering lovely cassis and black cherry notes sitting atop a sleek iron spine. Floral and savory details run throughout. Shows a refined structure. Sneakily long, with persistent fruit." Decanter: 93/100 Punkte "The aromatics here are highly appealing, the well-weighted cassis fruit with touches of woodsmoke scents reflecting the clean black fruits on the attack, delivered with a sense of precision. The fruit is a little below the exceptional quality of the last few years, but 2015 and 2016 were just such sensational wines here, and this was a far trickier vintage. The austerity needs time to soften, opening up in the glass but lacking the floral signature of the estate, perhaps due to low Cabernet Franc levels - Figeac lost 55% of the crop to frost, hitting the Cabernet Franc particularly hard, which is why this vintage has the lowest Cabernet Franc on record at the estate. They have done an excellent job of not over-extracting, and it has a gentle depth of bramble fruit, menthol and eucalyptus that unrolls with some minerality. The last plots came in on 3 October, but they often went through the same plot several times to wait for full ripeness, and only around 10% of second generation fruit made it into the final wine. 50% of overall production will make Figeac in 2017, equating to perhaps 48,000 bottles. Yield 22hl/ha. This is an excellent wine, but lacks a little of the Figeac signature that has been so brilliantly developed over the past few years. Drinking Window 2026 – 2040” Vinous (Neal Martin): 93-95/100 Punkte "The 2017 Figeac was picked from 7 September to 3 October at 22hl/ha (average across frosted and non-frosted parcels) with 13.5° alcohol. It has a deep purple hue. The bouquet is very well defined, quite strict at first with well-behaved blackberry, raspberry, pressed rose petals and just a touch of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine backbone, fresh in the mouth with a sense of energy, quite precise and linear with a pinch of spice towards the finish, a little graphite lingering on the aftertaste. This is unapologetically classic in style and whilst it might be over-shadowed by the sensational 2015 and 2016 Figeac, this is an impressive follow-up to that might pair that has really put Figeac back on the map." James Suckling: 94/100 Punkte "This is a dense and layered red with blackberries, blueberries and hints of hazelnuts. Full-bodied, very tight and focused. Impressive young tannins. Velvety texture. Very pretty to taste. Juicy and delicious. 43% merlot, 47% caberent sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. Less franc than normal due to the frost." Wine Enthusiast: 95/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Juicy fruit and delicious cassis flavors are sustained by determined tannins on the palate of this bold wine. It is all in balance, the intense acidity and great fruit given extra richness by the structure. It is always going to be a rich wine, with plenty of bright acidity. For this estate, it will not be a wine for long-term aging." Weinwisser: 19/20 Punkte "47 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 43 % Merlot. 10 % Cabernet Franc. 13,5 Vol.-%., 22 hl/ha. Mehr als die Hälfte wurde durch den Frost am 27. April verloren. 48.000 Flaschen. Dichtes Purpurgranat mit violettem Rand. Vielschichtiges blaubeeriges Bouquet mit Brom- und Heidelbeeren. Im zweiten Ansatz betörende Veilchen, dunkles Malz und reife Walderdbeeren. Am cremigen Gaumen mit seidigen Tanninen, feinmehligem Extrakt und genialer Frische, zeigt eine royale Grösse. Im gebündelten Finale ein Feuerwerk von blauen Beeren, dunklen Schokonoten und perfekter Balance – ein wahrer Traum, diese Haute-Couture-Delikatesse aus St.- Émilion. 2028-2058" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

2018 Château Palmer 3. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ MARGAUX A.C.

Der Mehltau-Befall und dem gleichzeitigen Festhalten an den biodynamischen Prinzipien des Château führt zu Mini-Mengen auf Château Palmer. Elf Hektoliter pro Hektar führen zu höchster Konzentration von Frucht, Fülle und Schmelz. Dabei eine verführerische Frische und fantastisch eingebundene Tannine - ein Wein für die Ewigkeit! Falstaff: 100/100 Punkte »The sophistic monster, höchster Tanningehalt, Orange Mehltau nach dem 5. Juli 11 hl. Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Floral unterlegtes intensives dunkles Beerenkonfit, reife Kirschen, ein Hauch von vollreifen Feigen, kandierte Orangen, nuancenreiches Bukett. Kraftvoll, sehr saftig, extraktsüße Textur, präsente Tannine, zarter Nougat, mineralisch, große Länge, die grandiosen Tannine vermitteln ein zusätzliches Frischegefühl.« Wine Spectator: 97-100/100 Punkte »The level of glycerine sets this apart, giving the cascade of plum, currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit extra oomph, while seeming to heighten the purity at the same time. Beautiful violet, incense and juniper notes flash in the background. This is packed with iron-laced grip, but remains seamless and extremely long. I suspect this will be one of the most talked-about wines of the vintage.« Decanter: 99/100 Punkte »Possibly the most talked about estate in the vintage, with its mildew-induced 11hl/ha yields making waves all the way back at harvest time. They made it through though, and have made an exceptional wine that will clearly be discussed and enjoyed for years to come. There's no denying that the yields have had an impact - even in the colour you see a rich, velvety density with the violet edging that suggests a good pH (it's 3.83, so a touch higher than usual). There is a stunning sweetness to the cassis and bilberry fruits, and it retains the finesse and floral aromatics of Palmer even with the concentration, complexity and depth on show here. It also has the signature of the vintage, and despite the volume of tannins it feels silky and seductive, and you wonder if it will close down at all. This certainly has a long life ahead of it. Sadly there is no Alter Ego in 2018, for the first time since it was created in 1998, with the production of the grand vin down by about 50% on a normal year. Harvest ran from 13 September to 15 October, and 90% of production went into the grand vin due to the low yields. No sulphur was added to the fruit until after malo, and it is aged in 70% new oak, already barely discernible. Thomas Duroux said, by the way, that if mildew pressure happened again to this extent, he would treat despite his strong commitment to biodynamics. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. 98-100 points. Drinking Window 2028 - 2044« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99/100 Punkte »The 2018 Palmer is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. Grapes were harvested September 13 to October 15, and the wine has a 3.83 pH and 14.3% alcohol. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is a little reticent to begin, but with coaxing, it slowly emerges to show fragrant violets, underbrush, mossy bark and iron ore with exponentially growing notions of crème de cassis, Black Forest cake, plum preserves, hoisin, Christmas cake and red roses with wafts of dusty earth, Indian spices and cracked black pepper. Full-bodied, concentrated and downright powerful in the mouth, it has a solid structure of firm, wonderfully plush tannins and masses of fragrant accents, finishing very long and very spicy. By the time I finished tasting this, the nose had exploded in this fragrant bomb of fruit, earth and floral notions. This is one of those 2018 wines that has a beguiling brightness that comes from the many floral, spice and mineral accents among all that rich fruit. WOW!« Wine Enthusiast: 97-99/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. Dense and concentrated, this is a powerfully rich wine. It has a velvet texture that masks the tannins, which are solid, precise and impressive in structure. It is a great wine that comes from a very low-yield crop and it will age quite well.« Weinwisser: 19,5/20 »40 % Merlot, 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Petit Verdot, 11 hl/ha, Produktion nur 6.000 12er-Kisten = 1/3 einer normalen Produktion. Kein Zweitwein Alter Ego. Undurchsichtiges Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte. Betörendes Parfüm nach reifen Pflaumen, Schattenmorellensaft und Cassisgelee. Im zweiten Ansatz duftige Veilchen, Wildkirschen und reife Waldhimbeeren. Am Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und perfekt ausgereiften, polierten Tanninen, cremig und elegant. Im aromatischen, katapultartigen Finale eine Explosion von Heidelbeeren, Lakritze und Nougatpralinen gepaart mit Eleganz und perfekter Präzision. Ein Meisterwerk aus Margaux, dass ich bisher noch nicht erlebt habe. Die Frage wird sein, wie sich dieser Wein entwickeln wird. Dieser wird, neben Pontet-Canet, einer der am heissesten diskutierten Weine sein! Trinken 2028 bis 2050« James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte »It is the essence of cabernet fruit with density that is so thick that it has the texture of grape puree. Full body and melted tannins that give the wine a sense of velvet. Very soft and juicy. With air, it goes to bright, crushed black currants. Tar. Fresh tannins give it energy. I have never tasted anything like this in all my 38 years as a wine critic in Bordeaux. From tiny berries of cabernet sauvignon (53 per cent), 40 per cent merlot and seven per cent petit verdot.« Vinum: 18/20 Punkte »Zurückhaltende Aromatik; ungemein voller Bau, aussergewöhnliche Qualität der Tannine, extrem langes Finale von frischen und getrockneten Beeren, grosszügig auch, doch ohne allzu massig zu wirken. 2028 bis 2040« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
