Tasting from 01.01.2016: Peter Moser

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening. Ripe heart cherries, delicate cassis, delicate floral nuances, a hint of mandarin oranges. Juicy, subtle extract sweetness, fine blackberry confit, present tannins, somewhat chocolaty on the finish, salty-mineral aftertaste.
