Tasting Notes

Tasting from 29.06.2026: Peter Moser

Dark ruby-garnet, violet highlights, subtle ochre-edged lightening. A hint of cassis, delicate notes of fine wood, blackberries, black cherries, subtly smoky minerality, and tobacco-like nuances. Juicy and elegant, with notes of red heart cherries, a fresh acidity profile, ripe, well-integrated tannins, a salty finish—balanced, invigorating, and lingering, with good length and aging potential.
