Tasting Notes

Tasting from 29.11.2021: Benjamin Herzog, Dominik Vombach und Ursula Geiger

Elegant aromas on the nose with notes of preserved cherries, some rum pot and dried plums. Also hints of roasted nuts and caramel. Juicy and elegant on the palate. Beautiful acidity, ripe dark fruit, fine tannins, long finish.
