The 2018 Prieure-Lichine slips sensuously with gorgeous raspberry coulis, chocolate-covered cherries and warm cassis scents with hints of candied violets, licorice, camphor and wilted roses. The full-bodied, richly fruited palate is beautifully perfumed with loads of floral accents and has a firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long with some mineral notions coming through. Very pretty.
The 2018 Cantenac Brown is deep garnet-purple in color and a little coy to begin and then, with coaxing, opens out to lovely red roses, black tea, violets and underbrush scents with a core of warm red and black currants and chocolate-covered cherries. Full-bodied and laden with perfumed red and black fruit layers, it has a firm frame of fine-grained tannins and a long, fragrant finish.
The 2018 Kirwan is deep garnet-purple in color and gives intense, lifted scents of kirsch, black raspberries and warm cassis with nuances of rose hip tea, tar, fragrant earth and wild sage. The full-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of vibrant fruit with loads of earthy nuances and a firm, fine-grained frame, finishing long and perfumed.
René Gabriel 17/20
"Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Tintiges Bouquet, Pflaumenschalen, floraler Schimmer und pfeffrige Nuancen. Saftiger Fluss, sehr elegant, aromatisches Finale. Ein sehr harmonischer Zweitwein ohne Zwischentöne." Trinken 2020 bis 2033. bdxtotal.com
Komplex, geschmeidig, mit großzügigen Aromen. Ein sehr gut gemachter Wein.
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, zart vegetal unterlegte rote Kirschenfrucht, florale Nuancen, verhaltenes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerige Textur, zarte Tannine, frischer Säurebogen, zitronig-mineralischer Abgang, bald antrinkbar. falstaff.at
