  Tiefes, dunkles Weinrot mit leicht ziegelroten Reflexen. Traumhaftes, vielschichtiges Pflaumenbouquet, dunkle Edelhölzer, Teenoten, Spitzwegerich. Saftiger, sehr eleganter Gaumen, tolle, tiefe Würze im Extrakt, Jasminteenoten, Lakritze, Finale sanft mit Dörrfürchten belegt, hält sich grossartig, jetzt in Topfrom."

  Wine Spectator
  Amazing aromas of truffles and fruit, with dried flowers too. Full-bodied and very soft, with ultravelvety tannins. Long and sumptuous. So much beautiful fruit and complexity. Drink now. 8,500 cases made."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  This starts with dark berries, earth, minerals, wood and spice aromas. With silky textures, this mature wine shows a minor hint of under ripe flavors in the otherwise, surprisingly good, plum filled finish. I was surprised at the quality of this 88, I was expecting less ripeness and silk. At the price, it's worth taking a look at."

  Magnum. 40% Cabernet Franc, 60% Merlot. Dark and rich. A bit dry and horsey. Thick and polished. Very dry finish. Nicely balanced and refined. Long. Vital and quite fresh. Drying end. Best value."

  The Wine Advocate
  Still a dark garnet/purple color that shows some lightening at the edge, this wine appears to be approaching a post-adolescent stage. A nose of earth, licorice, underbrush, and black fruits is followed by a medium-bodied wine with a lot of structure, muscle, tannin, and depth. Tannin is still present, but the wine is showing very complex aromatics and good sweetness on the attack. Very drinkable, yet capable of holding for at least another decade."
