Reviews:
"A fleshy note of juicy ripeness plays on the nose alongside a tender, red-fruited perfume. The palate fills that promise of juiciness with its buoyant red and black cherry fruit, countered with some freshness. There could be more focus, but the spotlight clearly is on full-fruited expression.” – Anne Krebiehl MW, Wine Enthusiast
“Strong ruby garnet, violet reflexes, broad brightening. Delicately floral hints of strawberry, delicate to licorice, inviting bouquet. Juicy, red berries, fine tannins, pleasant fruit sweetness, floral touch in the reverberation, already good to drink.” – Falstaff Magazine
