Tasting from 01.01.2024: Peter Moser

Medium garnet, with garnet reflections and a broad ochre rim. Intense nuances of oak, vanilla, ripe red fruits of forest, but also herbs such as rosemary, marjoram together with nougat and ripe fruit. Juicy, finely spiced, ripe sweet cherry and plum, pronounced but very well polished tannins, then the concentrated fruit expression becomes noticeable. Very mineral and elegant, it shows an amazing freshness on the palate with red berry nuances. A wine that is surprisingly light-footed for Ygay. It is already very inviting and can be enjoyed straight away with a little decanting. A very finesse-rich style.
