Feb 8th, 2020A dream of 2 brothers, in 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage: a Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of a blends 36% Tempranillo with red Bordeaux varieties. Deep red with ripe berry aromas, some herbs and licorice notes. On the palate, blackberry and sweet cherry flavors with notes of cacao and espresso. Approachable tannins but this needs long term aging. Lingering rich finish.

I've had this once before (visited them back in 2015, beautiful tour up at Stagecoach) and forgot how nice this Tempranillo is. Napa style Tempranillo is a nice change of pace from having lots of TX Tempranillo here. Tannins are nicely integrated...felt extremely balanced. Nothing was hot about it.

This is 44% Tempranillo and this vintage has 12% Sangiovese which has lifted the acid. It's a nice blend.

Literally everything good in the new world thrown in and really showed spectacularly. Nice spice profile from Tempranillo with plenty of petit Verdot and Syrah robustness. Love the doctor!!

Jan 27th, 20142004 vintage. Decanted with very little sed and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Initial richness in the frontal palate but the mid-palate decided to nap. Finish glided along without speed bumps. Really nice but not great. 7.19.24.
