Tasting Notes

Tasting from 19.02.2021: Dominik Vombach und Benjamin Herzog

Fruity bouquet with notes of wild berry compote, raspberry and spice hints of liquorice and lovage. Mouth-filling and powerful on the palate, fine tannins, lots of dark fruit, medium-long finish with notes of sour cherry and spice.
