Tasting Notes

92

Tasting from 22.05.2014

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, broad watery rim. Delicately leafy and spicy black fruit, hints of cassis and blackberries, floral touch. Medium complexity, sweet cherry fruit, firm tannins, peppery touch, pleasant salty minerality, already beginning to open up a little, good balance, spicy food companion with future potential.
