Tasting Notes

Tasting from 26.04.2022: Peter Moser & Anne Krebiehl MW

Illustrious names like de Montille and Péters are behind this French-American co-production. Smoke and tart, red berry notes rise from the glass, revealing streaks of cranberry and Morello cherry. The palate then reveals a richer, smoother seam of gently vanilla-kissed cherry, but all remains absolutely slender and sinuous, yet concentrated. A wonderful smoky resonance persists.
