Still a rather deep ruby, ochre reflections, discreet watery rim. Dark berry confit with chocolate overtones, fine balsamic nuances, ripe plums, pleasant spiciness, hints of nougat, toasty aromas of tobacco and caramelised nuts. Juicy, complex, elegant texture, nuances of dried plums, fine, firm tannins, mineral touch, good length, sweet finish, still in good shape.

More about the tasting »Nachlese zur vorweihnachtlichen Falstaff-Raritätenprobe 2016«Strong carmine garnet, dark colour core, subtle ochre rim. Fine dark berryish confit on the nose, delicately balsamic, reminiscent of black olives, tobacco nuances, very multi-faceted, sweet bouquet, in the underlay an unmistakable hint of caramel and cream. Full-bodied and sweet on the palate, wonderful cherry confit, perfectly ripe tannins, dark chocolate, candied orange zest. Substantial and long-lasting, shows tremendous youthfulness; there is still no end in sight to the enjoyment phase. Together with the 1945 and 1989 it is one of the great wines of this grandiose winery. (2011/drinking/+30).
