Tasting Notes

90
Tasting from 10.02.2017: Peter Moser und Ulrich Sautter

Strong ruby garnet, delicate ochre reflections, subtle edge brightening. Dark berry confit with a hint of ethereal nuances, some cassis and tobacco. Medium body, black berries, present tannins, fresh structure, mineral touch on the finish, chocolaty nuances in the aftertaste, still needs more bottle ageing.

More about the tasting

Hearty cherry fruit underlaid with herbal spices, a hint of cassis and licorice, orange zest. Juicy, elegant, fine acidity, well-integrated tannins, fresh dark berry fruit on the finish, delicately salty in the aftertaste, a refined food companion.
