Firm, polished and quite deep, red- and blackberry scent with a little cherry, peanut-spicy wood notes and a little laurel. Clear, tangy-juicy, very smooth fruit with still youthful, yet ripe, fine sandy tannins, persistent and dense on the palate, a little bit of dry herbs, has power and depth, a little peppery spice in the background, mineral notes, slightly bacony in the background, firm and complex, very good, tight, against tangy-juicy finish

Editor note: Translate to English Noch jugendlicher, tiefer Duft nach eingemachten schwarzen Beeren, etwas roten Beeren und Kirschen mit moderater Holzwürze, floralen Nuancen, feinen Kräutertönen und auch erdiger Mineralik im Hintergrund. Reintönig, straff und saftig im Mund, reife, geschliffene Frucht mit jugendlichen, präsenten, dabei hochfeinen Tanninen und anregendem Biss, sehr dicht und nachhaltig am Gaumen, dabei aber nicht die Spur schwer oder überzogen, Kräuternoten und wieder auch Mineralik, beste Balance, zupackend, vielschichtig, fächert mit Luft immer weiter auf, ausgezeichnete Tiefe, langer Abgang. Großartig.
