Tasting from 08.08.2021: Anne Krebiehl MW

A leafy, youthful freshness gives an extra lift to the pristine summer berry fruit. A flinty whiff of reduction still lingers. The palate is bright, vivid, with a guiding seam of utter freshness. The purity of fruit is remarkable, the aromatic expression heightens with air and shines with redcurrant freshness and summer pudding charm. Lovely.
