What a wonderful wine. Texturally, the tannins are velvety. The palate is enjoyable now but you can just tell this will continue to exude more and more expression in the years to come. Yum.

(Blind verkostet im Rahmen der Blick Degustation "Merlot") Etwas reduktiv, tiefgründig, komplex, dunkle Frucht, mineralisch unterlegt. Im Gaumen druckvoll, viel Power, ungemein dicht, fokussiert, viel Gerbstoff, sehr hohe Qualität, noch super jung, mit grossen Reserven. "Big Wine".

Opened, poured and let sit about 1 hr. Then: Maybe some darkish fruit on the nose. Taste starts out with reddish/darkish fruit and maybe gets a bit more reddish by the end of the glass; maybe a slight hint of sweetness; full bodied, but not over-ripe or over-extracted; tannins noticeable and not a problem at the beginning, but maybe get a little grippy by the finish; some warmth on the finish from beginning to end. Obviously young, but approachable and tasty. The "90" is for this bottle today. I would expect the score to increase over time.

PnP. Took a while to open and then it was currant, earthy with a nice finish. Great QPR.

Decanted for 3 hours.
Dark purple colour, could’ve easily thought I was on a big Napa Cab.
I had pretty much only black fruits. Medium+ aftertaste. I’ll be patient with my other bottle, this lacked complexity and was quite unidimensional.
