Wine enthusiast acclaim
Merlot — Cabernet Sauvignon Freinsheim is simply excellent! Young, still brave, but with good potential. It will easily lie for 5 years, and maybe 10. The aroma of black currant, blackberry, oak. It tastes like the cherry in dark chocolate and a snack 😄 The acidity is strong. Tannins are still pretty aggressive. But overall, everything is very well balanced. The finish is pleasant and persistent.
