Tasting Notes
2021 is likely to be the coolest of the last seven vintages. However, the Koch family has decided to let their monarch (please don't take this literally) hang a little longer. The result is a full-bodied red with power and polish. Very ripe black cherry, blackberry, juicy and lush in appearance at the expense of refinement, but completely convincing in its style.
