<p><b>93 points</b> - Medium dark purple red. Elegant, classy aromas of cherry and florals, herbs, walnut, touches of smoked speck. Medium to full bodied with a real lovely purity and cassis, berry flavours, quite transparent and pinot like, phenolics dense and tailored. Initially quite grippy but really opens up, especially with tonight’s zwiebelrostbraten and top spätzle.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, May 28, 2024.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Restrained nose. Needs time to air. Spicy, savoury aromas. Rich and dense on the palate, perhaps the fruit isn’t quite enough for the structure. Good nevertheless.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Jul 9, 2022.</p>
