Tasting Notes

Tasting from 26.03.2014

A sensory puzzle: on the one hand, very ripe on the nose (bready, malty, with remnants of berry fruit). On the palate, however, it is still relatively firm despite the softening of the tannins due to its maturity. A kind of sparse density in the middle of the palate, and then spicy again on the finish, and very typical of Pinot Noir. Probably benefits from a carafe.
