Tasting Notes

95
Tasting from 31.12.2019: Peter Moser

Medium crimson, ochre reflections, broad rim. On the nose fine spice-scented red berry fruit, nuances of cherry, subtle nougat, a hint of mint. Juicy and complex, silky texture, structured with finesse, a highly elegant and delicate wine, red berry fruit, fine tannins, good finish, aromas marked by Merlot, rather filigree overall impression.

More about the tasting

One taster out of eleven complained about a cork fault and abstained from the evaluation. Medium carmine garnet with a broad ochre rim. On the nose, finely spiced, dark berries, hints of nougat and mint with a slightly leafy undertone, develops well in the glass. Juicy and complex with a silky texture, a finesse-rich structure, a highly elegant and delicate wine, sweet red berries and a good finish. Although it has already degraded slightly, it still has a few years ahead of it, at its peak ten years ago, a magnum is a real treat today. (99 PP).

Medium carmine garnet, broad ochre rim. Finely spiced dark berry fruit on the nose, delicate nougat, a hint of fresh sulfur wood, develops well in the glass. Juicy, silky texture, finesse-rich structure, a highly elegant and delicate wine, sweet red berry fruit, good finish, still has a few years ahead of it. The best of the Margaux appellation in this vintage. (2011/trinken/+10)
