VERKOSTUNGSNOTIZ: "Powerful ruby red with a dark core. Noble smell of mature, vague fruit flavours like blueberries, plums, cassis liqueur and elder. The nose picture is completed by noble joiner's workshop notes and subtle seasoning. Juicy, extensive palate with a complex fruit note of blue and red woods berries. Perfect wood use and a fine Mineralik. Noble tannin with a wonderful glaze. Long and elegant reverberation extremely tasteful and multilayered. Does not leave any wishes unfulfilled already now and will improve still further within the next years." SPECIALIST PUBLICATIONS: The year 2001 got 94 points of R. parker.
