Tasting from 03.02.2022: Anne Krebiehl
Made from 20-25-year-old vines, and in a drought vintage, the cool nights in 2017 made all the difference to this wine. Lovely, juicy cassis has flashes of liquorice and smoke, promising brooding, dark fruit. The palate delivers but also comes with lovely definition, provided by the fine freshness. The tannins are firm and fine but it is the freshness that lends real juiciness and makes the cassis fruit shine. The medium body makes for elegance, the finish has a touch of cocoa powder and vivid length.
