Tasting from 01.10.2021: Ulrich Sautter
Complex, mature aroma: semi-bitter chocolate, redcurrant and heart cherry, malt and iron. Classically constructed on the palate, with firm tannins in a grainy quality, yet also plenty of juiciness, with a homogeneous acid nerve accompanying the entire palate and with intense tactile minerality. Halfway to Gran Reserva in terms of extract, this wine is now beginning to give pleasure, but it will continue to refine for at least ten years.
