JAMES SUCKLING: "Very refined and polished with minerally, almost salty character. Full body and beautiful, compact tannins. Racy finish. Excellent drive to this at the end."

DECANTER: "Concentrated and intense, with juicy liquorice and blackberry flavours dominant on the attack. This is an excellent wine showing beautiful tension with slate and crushed stone texture. Chocolate shavings, bitter and intense, give a kick on the finish. Even better after 24 hours of opening, which is an extremely good sign for an en primeur sample. Drinking Window 2027 - 2044."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit kandierten Orangenzesten unterlegte dunkle Waldbeeren, frische Herzkirschen, tabakige Würze, zart nach Edelholz. Saftig, feine Fruchtsüße, finessenreich strukturiert, feine, tragende Tannine, salzige Mineralität, rotbeerige Aspekte im Abgang, zarte Kräuterwürze im Nachhall, angenehm kalkiger Touch im Finale." - Peter Moser
