I’ve never even heard of this varietal to be honest, but was blown away. This is a huge wine. Incredibly rich with red fruit, soft tannins, never would have guessed this was anything other than new world. So incredibly balanced. I love wine pairings as they introduce me to wines I would never buy on my own. And this was incredible.

Fantastico! 8 years in the bottle has smoothed this out beautifully. So many enticing, wonderful tastes - black cherry, smoke, black licorice, plum... Just an exceptional wine.

Black cherries, delicate smokey flavours and smooth tea like tannins. This was a nice surprise, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Softened even further on day two with some fragrant mixed spice added to the profile.

When in Germany, you drink a lot of lager low alcohol beers but stick to what you know when it comes to wine. The Germans have like 15 types of red wine but in the end it seems you’re always stuck with a bland Pinot noir.

A bit modern but it handles it well and doesn’t overwhelm the character.

16/20 (88/100) Аромат чернослива, шоколада, жареных орехов кешью и тыквенных семечек. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и мягкими, бархатистыми танинами. Чернослив и шоколад во вкусе. Добротно сделанное, несложное вино.
