Tasting from 07.10.2022: Ulrich Sautter, Peter Moser, Dominik Vombach, Anne Krebiehl

Lush red fruits - one thinks of the ripest red cherry and juicy plum - appear in the fragrance alongside a hint of tar and a pinch of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is dense, intense and elegant with the finest, supple and silky tannins, reminiscent of elastic velvet. This wine is supple and, despite its richness, absolutely enveloped in elegance. It is on the long finish that this white pepper glistens like snow crystals in the sun. Beautiful.
