Tasting from 31.12.2018: Peter Moser

Strong ruby garnet, solid color core, discreet brightening to the rim. On the nose oak nuances, hints of cassis and vanilla, ripe cherries and black berries. Juicy on the palate, notes of blueberries, dark chocolate, vivid tannins, seems persistent on the finish, also somewhat port-like due to its enormous power, long length, seems youthful and still in need of some bottle age. Best to leave this wine alone for another ten years.
