Tasting from 12.09.2022: Anne Krebiehl

Blackberry, cinnamon, a lactic note, a touch of elderberry and tar make for a most vivid nose. The palate follows suit, setting this pure, aromatic fruit into scene. This is wonderfully sophisticated with the crunch of finest tannin, absolute concentration and stunning poise. This has it all, above all freshness that allows the pristine fruit to shine in every aromatic nuance. Gorgeous.
