Tasting Notes

100
Tasting from 21.11.2019: Peter Moser

Light greenish yellow, silver reflections; fine, persistent mousse. Fresh white peach note, light tropical fruit, mineral, incredibly youthful and purist. On the palate complex, fine yellow tropical fruit nuances, a touch of peach and apple, tight-knit, firm body, very vital, energetic acidity, dynamic, lemony-salty touch, has an immensely long finish. Certainly has the potential to age for many years, finesse and richness as never before.
