Winery Review: The currants and blackberries on the nose are very impressive with wet-earth and lavender undertones. Full body and super-integrated tannins that melt into the wine. The quality of the tannins is incredible with fantastic length and mouthfeel. So much concentration and balance at the same time. Such beauty. From biodynamic grapes. This is the greatest wine ever from here. Drink in 2022.

My Review: Wow! What an amazing wine! Dark fruit is very prominent on the nose with notes of black cherry and shoe leather. Following that are hints of slight blueberry and slight vanilla. Blueberry and cherry are present on palate followed by leather, tobacco, and some oak. The wine is very smooth and has a long finish. Such a fantastically crafted wine through and through.
