Tasted March 2014
Interessantes Bouquet, duftet nach sonnengetrockneten Tomaten, Sugo und frisch gemahlenem Pfeffer, dann folgt die intensive, dunkle Frucht. Sehr guter Trinkfluss mit viel Frische am Gaumen, dann reifem Tannin und einer saftigen Säure, diskrete Rauchnoten im Finale.

Tasted September 2015
Typischer Neue-Welt-Shiraz mit generösem Pflaumenkompott, reife Johannisbeere, dazu Minze, Rosmarin, Eukalyptus und schwarzer Pfeffer mit Rauch und Würze. Am Gaumen viel Süsse und viel Alkohol, dazu dichte, feinporige Tannine. Barocke Wucht!
2011 Vintage – 93 Points, Falstaff
Tasted September 2016
A very charming trace of oxidative patina (which tends to fade rather than strengthen with standing time in the glass), Marsala, fig compote, but also fresh motifs: blueberry, liquorice. Oily and mild on the palate, quite rounded with very fine, flatteringly matured tannin.

2013 Vintage – 93 Points, Falstaff
Tasted October 2017
Dense and dark ruby, deep core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Fine nougat, dark berry confit, fine eucalyptus and strawberry confit touch in the background. Juicy, pure heart cherries, fine fruitiness, ripe tannins, good acidity, approachable style, versatile, already well accessible.
