Tasting Notes

97
Tasting from 01.01.2017: Peter Moser

Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Attractive blackberry fruit, soft balsamic nuances, chocolaty touch, ripe cherries, sweet tobacco notes. Powerful, fruity, ripe fruit nuances, sweet cherries, very well-integrated tannins, has aromatic depth and great length, subtle notes of dried plums on the finish, now begins to wake up after a rest period and enter the true pleasure phase. Can be considered the role model for the brilliant 2001 vintage.
