Lobenberg: Sehr dunkle Farbe. Deutliche Merlotprägung im Mund. Viel dunkle Früchte, fester, fleischiger Mund mit akzeptabler Länge, gutes Volumen. Erstaunlich schöner Wein für diesen Jahrgang. 93/100
92 /100
Wine Spectator über:
Chateau Kirwan 3eme Cru
-- Wine Spectator: A very reserved wine at this stage, but still shows attractive plum and berry character, with hints of mineral. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and very refined tannins. Lasts a long time on the finish. Very, very silky. 92/100
-- Parker: Still somewhat tannic but very much in the style that Kirwan has favored over recent vintages, this is a full-bodied, muscular, powerhouse effort. The wine still has a dense ruby/purple color, with loads of blackberries, cassis, and some noticeable new oak still lingering in the background. Powerful, rich, and full, this wine needs another 2-3 years of cellaring and should age nicely for another 20 years. 90/100
