Well assembled palate with dense fruit, ripe but plentiful tannin, very discreet oak a fresh backbone of acidity and herb infused dark fruit, crème de cassis and a very long and fresh finish.

"Deep garnet in the glass, this wine offers a bouquet of blackberry, crème brûlée and anisette. It is bright on entry, with flavors of black plum, roasted red pepper, tobacco and baking spice. Velvet tannins evaporate into a long finish. Mike DeSimone"

"Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure and youthful aromas of darker fruit such as cassis, black cherry, fine tobacco, dried herbs and finely toasted oak. Ample palate, good density with grainy tannin, a bright acidity, still youthful with freshly crushed berry flavours, a digest sage/mint spiciness with a long and pure finish. Fine potential for development."

"Lifted aromas of flowers, cherry and black plum are supported by accents of mineral and lightly toasted oak. On the palate, an explosion of ripe, pulpy berry fruit and snappy acidity settles with ease and elegance, while this Cabernet Sauvignon from a warm, dry year offers blackberry, cassis and chocolate flavors. There's plenty of depth to a smooth and balanced finish. This is one to hold for many years. Best from 2025-2045. Michael Schachner"

"Dense bright dark purple colour. The nose is fragrant offering a perfume of violet, fine tobacco, ripe cassis and dark berries with mild notes of cedar wood and oak. The palate boasts nice concentration and density with plenty of grainy tannin, modest oak, digest dark fruit, sage and tobacco flavours leading to a long finish. Youthful and dense with a bright future, keep another 3-4 years before opening."

"Bereits jetzt bukettreich: Aromen von Kakaobohne, Menthol und Schwarzer Ribisel. Sehr reifer (aber nicht konfitüriger) Cabernet Sauvignon. Im Mund dicht, festes, körniges und zugleich reifes Tannin mit positiver Adstringenz, gut Halt gebende Säure, zum Kauen extraktreich, hat Potenzial für Dekaden, klingt salzig ab. Die Legende lebt - und schmeckt besser denn je."

"Fig, vanilla, cola and chocolate aromas are classy and ripe, while this cool-vintage Cabernet from a vaunted vineyard in the Penedès is powerful, with tannic bite and acidic scour that should settle in due time. Root beer, chocolate and baked berry flavors don't fall into jammy laziness, while this is intense on the finish. Everything adds up to a great wine that needs even more time; drink from 2021-2045.

Satter, druckvoller Ansatz am Gaumen, fruchtgetragene Gaumenmitte, feinkörniger Gerbstoff mit kraftvollem Druckaufbau, perfekte Balance aus Saftigkeit und Volumen sowie aus Fülle und Eleganz, großes Potenzial.

"This Cabernet Sauvignon from Penedès is on the money. A smooth, creamy nose of vanilla, oak and berry aromas leads to a ripe, saturated palate with a meaty texture. Flavors of black fruits, wild herbs, licorice and spice are long, savory and chocolaty on a finish that lasts three minutes. Drink from 2019-2030."

Aromen von reifen, aber frischen roten Beeren, dazu Pfeffer, Leder und Unterholu, angepasste Toastnoten. Im Gaumen dicht gewoben, mit feinkörnigen Gerbstoff und präsenter Säure.

Ein hocheleganter Cabernet mit Aromen von roten und dunklen Beeren, dazu eine frische Würze, erdige und balsamische Noten.

Aromen von Cassis und Sauerkirschen, dazu ein Touch von edlen Kräutern. Im Gaumen geradlinig und immer noch temperamentvoll, mit lebendiger Säure und einem kernigen, leicht adstringierenden Tannin.

"Ein klimatisch turbulentes Jahr im Penedès, in der ersten Hälfte des Vegetationszyklus war es sehr kühl und regnerisch, danach überdurchschnittlich trocken und heiss. Aromen von roten Beeren, dazu Minze und Garigue-Kräuter sowie eine Spur Pfeffer und Weihrauch. Im Gaumen sehr dicht gewoben. Wirkt noch jugendlich-temperamentvoll. Wird sich weiter verbessern."
