Intensive, deep red colour, complex bouquet, blackberry, juniper, cornelian cherry, dark chocolate in the background, full bodied, dense, and tight structure, hint of tannins and a fruity finish, with blood orange and cranberry in the finish, very, very long finish, wow … almost perfect … a must.

Top-Rating on James Suckling.com
Perwolff 2018: 97 Points
Alter Weingarten 2018: 94 Points

Excerpt from the rating:

Perwolff 2018:
This has an entire fjord of elderberry aroma on the nose, but also notes of rose hips, wet earth and just a whiff of smoke from oak. Very concentrated, but also super straight and pure, the tannins building steadily as it flows over the palate, the subliminal acidity accelerating the mineral finish to warp speed. Must be the best vintage so far of this wine, which made its debut with the 1992 vintage. Drink or hold.

Alter Weingarten 2018:
Stunning intensity of ripe elderberry with gingerbread-spice notes and touches of wet earth and raw meat. Very good concentration and fine tannins that are already beautifully married to the acidity through the long, intensely mineral finish. Drink or hold.
