Tasting Notes

Tasting from 31.12.2018: Peter Moser

Medium crimson garnet with some depth, orange reflections and age appropriate rim brightening. Tobacco nuances on the nose, notes of berries and tobacco, red fruits, sweet spices, wonderfully old fashioned. Elegant on the palate, seems almost slender, red wild berryish confit, silky texture, DELICATE tannins, structured with finesse, the epitome of a matured Claret, possesses an uncharacteristically graceful figure for the otherwise important vintage.
