Tasting Notes
Medium carmine garnet, broad watery rim, brighter around the edges. A somewhat confusing bouquet on the nose at first, with a completely different effect. Ripe fruit, chocolate cake, candied tomatoes, rather southern spice, like "Sachertorte". On the palate, the picture changes abruptly, floral nuances full of finesse, a clear mineral structure, pure Pinot, enormous freshness and clarity, red berry fruit on the finish, very good development potential. A very different style, but one that has a lot to offer.
