Tasting Notes
Anyone thinking of double-digit prices (or even more) for a "Diamond Edition" has done the math without Christoph Hammel. The wine is initially muted on the nose, with only subtle hints of paprika and Cabernet grassiness shining through. On the palate, power and savouriness welcome the drinker; this is not just a fruit wine. Candied lemon, quince, some herbs, harmoniously balanced and well made.
