A balanced blend of blackberry and black forest berries, with a zesty and clear structure. The perfume is lively and engaging, with a gentle dryness that adds richness to the wine. The tannins are lively and well-balanced, with a licorice and earthy note that adds complexity. The follow through is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste that invites further exploration. The wine is a top notch example of a well-balanced and polished blackberry wine.

Concentrated and full-bodied wine with a rich bouquet, featuring undertones of leather, mushroom, and earthy undertones. The tannins are well-integrated, and the acidity is balanced, making it a charming and easy going wine. A stonking introduction to the 1982 vintage.
Reissan
Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, opaque color. On the nose, the scent is controlled by by blackberry, leather, and vanilla, with nuanced subtle flavors of mushroom and forest floor. The flavor is marked by a concentrated black raspberry and black cherry flavor, with earthy subtle flavors of oak and a dry forest floor note. The freshness is moderate, and the linger is long and satisfying, with a lingering sweetness of vanilla.
