Aromas of jam, berry and cherry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine yet round tannins and a long chocolate and berry aftertaste. Loads of sweet fruit here. Exciting stuff. This small producer makes fine wines. Best after 2008. 1,165 cases made. ?JS

04: Sehr dunkle, auffallend tiefe Farbe. Fleischiges, leicht florales Brombeerenbouquet; wirkt noch verhalten. Fülliger, cremiger Gaumen, wieder topreife Brombeeren zeigend, dicke Tannine mit fülligem, sehr aromatischen Körper, im Finale noch dezent kernige Noten – wenn er diese beim Ausbau integriert, kann er noch einen Punkt zulegen. trinken (2008 - 2018)

Made in a soft, but not over-ripe style, the deep ruby/plum-tinged 2003 reveals broad, sexy notes of vanilla, black cherry jam, dried herbs, and sweet currants. This fleshy, round, low acid, seductive, luscious effort will provide pleasure over the next decade. Only 1,250 cases were produced, and the 2003 tipped the scales at 13.5% alcohol.
