Tasting from 01.01.2017: Peter Moser
Medium crimson garnet, ochre reflections, broad brightening on the rim. Somewhat closed bouquet, opens with nuances of liquorice, cassis, a touch ethereal, fresh blackberries, with a floral touch, violets, some oak notes underneath. Juicy and elegant, with a fine fruit driven sweetness, ripe red cherries, balanced, with a salty lemon touch, very lively, fresh and animating, a touch of red berries on the finish, light-footed and delicate in style, a wine with remarkable finesse from a "smaller" vintage. Now at its peak.
