Tasting Notes

Tasting from 13.09.2024: Ulrich Sautter

Present fruit with fine wood savouriness on the nose, black cherry, blackberry, cassis, dark tobacco. Compact on the palate with a fine acid vein and beautiful spiciness, natural in expression with a medium amount of tannin. Very good with food.
