|---|
| House | Kranemann | Vintage | 2009 |
| Colour | Still quite dark ruby with just a yellow mature edge in colour. | Number of tastings | 1 |
| Bouquet | Still dominated of dark berries such as mulberry, blackberry and cherry, but also fruit, dried and mature and some herbs in the nose. | Score range | 16.00 - 16.00 |
| Taste | Medium body. Quite mature but will be better due to some very elegant and round tannins. Balanced and lots of dark berries and fruit in the mouth. The finish is long, quite exciting due to the round and elegant tannins and also quite complex. | Average score | |
