Tasting Notes

91
Tasting from 14.02.2019: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Intense, powerful ruby red with a flint core. The nose has a slight hint of sealing wax, then lots of red berries, redcurrants and raspberries, ripe tones, some undergrowth and mushrooms, slightly lactic on the finish. Very concentrated and multi-layered on the palate, compact with tightly woven tannins, full-bodied, spans an elegant arc, ending on fruity nuances in the finish.
