Tasting Notes

Tasting from 03.11.2021: Ulrich Sautter

Rum steeped fruit on the nose, strawberry, orange peel, but also fresh fruit components, heart cherry and raspberry. Lots of juice on the palate, fine tannins in restrained quantities, ripe acidity, a quite complete Châteauneuf elegant, and at the same time good in density and length.
