96

Bright, radiant ruby red. Freshly ground pepper and herbs on the nose, with fine Amarena cherries and notes reminiscent of mint chocolate and blackberries on the finish. Balanced on the palate and harmonious throughout, it's nevertheless powerful and lingers on the tongue for a very long time.

96 Marcus Hofschuster - Wein Plus

Very firm and deep, extremely complex, fresh and precise, somewhat leathery and tobacco-like, also iodine on the nose, ripe, partly dried red and black berries with dried floral aromas, pepper, allspice and some Cheyenne pepper, dried mushrooms and a little undergrowth. Tight, concentrated, tart, yet extremely juicy fruit, present, ripe tannins and a certain acid bite, dense and persistent on the palate, tarry notes, a little tobacco, allspice and pepper, deep and complex, restrained power. Great.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Aromas of graphite, game, earth, red cherries and dark berries. Dense palate with dusty yet ripe tannins, refreshing acidity and a medium to full body. A lot of good substance that still needs time to integrate and gain complexity. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
