Sunday funday. Blackberry, black cherry, kirsch. Opulent on the entry, this coats your mouth. The mid-palate is a touch savory with smoke/leather/earth before the fruit returns on the long finish. While not on the same level as the Materium, it would be a shame to ignore or downplay this excellent wine which is perhaps more drinkable on release. But curious about other thoughts on the two wines. What do you think?

12’ Maybach AMOENUS. Doesn’t usually get the fanfare that the Materium gets, this vintage absolutely should.
Deep garnet color.
A plethora of black & red fruits. Gravel & earth notes with a smoldering of spice cake & cigar. It’s a superb showing 1+ hours out of the bottle. 👏

Spectacular wine. Lip smacking dry with tremendous balance and structure.

Fantastic. Depth and punch made it perfect to go after the Pavots.

IMO this needs some time to integrate. Blackberries, vanilla and oak.

Popped and poured. Definitely needs time now and some years.
