Tasting Notes

98
Tasting from 14.10.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Bright, flint ruby red colour. Expressive and inviting on the nose, fresh wild strawberries, blood oranges, with fine floral notes and a finish of ripe red peach, elegant, barely perceptible use of wood. Extremely polished and elegant on the palate, spans a wide, juicy arc, many layers, gentle, persistent drive, fine saltiness on the finish with a long finish.
