Tasting Notes

Tasting from 01.10.2021: Ulrich Sautter

Peppery on the nose, ethereal herbs, also sour cherry, restrained wood (a hint of caramel), quite clear and with good freshness. The palate is characterised by dense, fine-grained tannins, nothing astringent despite the concentration, the alcohol is integrated, the initially mild acidity pleasingly gains presence on the palate. Smooth background, good harmony.
