WEINWISSER: 17 RENE GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "Dichtes, sattes Purpur-Violett. Aromatisches Bouquet mit schwarzen Kirschen und Black Currantnoten. Toller Gaumenbeginn, pfeffriges Extrakt, viel Rasse und eine noch verlangende Adstringenz zeigend, langes Finale. Da ist ziemlich viel Power drin! (17/20). Kurz vor der Abfüllung auf dem Weingut. Auf gutem Weg mit viel Frucht, wirkt recht fein und wird schon bald ersten Genuss bieten. 2017-2030"

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 91 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Ready to go, this medium bodied, elegant charmer hits the spot with its soft, pure, earthy, spicy red fruit character. You can enjoy this now, and over the next decade and probably for at least a few more years after that."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A stunning sleeper of the vintage, this beautiful, already irresistible, plum/garnet-colored 2008 is a wine to purchase by the case. It possesses a dense plum/purple color, a glorious perfume of Christmas fruitcake, cedarwood, black currants, jammy cherries and licorice, medium to full body and a silky personality. It will provide both a hedonistic and intellectual turn-on over the next 10-15 years."
