Tasting from 20.02.2020: Dominik Vombach, Benjamin Herzog

Intense, and rather dark fruited on the nose with aromas of plum and cranberry, as well as notes of paprika and spices such as pepper. The palate is elegant with cherry notes and noticeable but ripe tannins. Very long-lasting, with a mineral touch. A great Merlot with great potential for ageing.
