Deep nose of blackberry flower, black cherries, violets. Pungent and vivid and so deep. Some earthy notes as well. Palate is deep, rich and fresh with black cherry fruit and ripe but substantial tannins. Great inner mouth aromas and deep, dark fruit buffered by minerality and freshness. Very long finish. Powerful and dense. 18 is a great vintage that will need time but it’s slowly starting to unravel.

Sep 24th, 2023Lovely stuff. My first 18 red burg in bottle. Outrageous nose of perfectly ripened mid season/late seasons red and black cherries. Loads of earth and freshness from intense minerality. Nose is very very giving. Just outrageously fruity and like a puppy licking one’s face. Can smell this all day for the vividness of the aromas. And the purity and the depth. Amazing palate. Sweet sweet fruit. Concentrated and deep with oodles of fruit and big, juicy and ripe tannins. Awesome freshness and purity. Terrific inner mouth aromas. Long finish with accents of black cherry and kirsch. Likely needs maybe 2-3 years or a few hours open to be more expensive on the palate. All there.
