Interesting to observe how the style of this flagship cuvée has shifted over the years, dialing back the oak, picking earlier, focusing on purity and sense of place.
Dark & slightly brooding on the nose with plum & hint of black cure leaf, freshly turned earth. A tiny pinch of spices, the wood not evident at all. Fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, medium tannin with just a tiny bite, filled with fresh damson plums and a hint of black currant. Juicy acidity, and nice length with an earthy finish. 14% alc, as in prev vintages, but this time unnoticeable. Nice depth and purity here.
This is a lovely wine, with juicy fruit and a savoury edge. Brilliant food companion.
Delish!

A real charmer, full of dark, ripe, sweet berries, a pinch of spice, some kirsch, a whiff of gingerbread. Very sexy.
On the palate this is medium bodied, round, smooth, velvety with ripe dark fruit, a hint of dark chocolate nibs, with a fresh, herby note, juicy acidity and a very smooth, long finish. The alc (14% alc) is slightly noticeable but overall this is a true crowd pleaser!
Perfect for Valentines Day 😉

Shimmering pale straw w/flecks of green - big petrol on nose along w/finely detailed slate, lemon, lime and white flowers. Razor sharp acidity, angular w/slightest hint of silk - more citrus, slate & golden apple on palate leading to dry finish. Teutonic precision here. — 4 years ago
