Tasting from 21.11.2022: Peter Moser

Strong carmine colour with ochre reflections and broad rim brightening. Spicy aromas of fine nougat and dark berry fruit underlaid with some liquorice and tobacco. Juicy, elegant palate with ripe cherry fruit, fresh, ripe tannins and a chocolaty finish. Versatile.
