Tasting Notes

Tasting from 28.05.2021: Benjamin Herzog und Dominik Vombach

Spicy-fruity aromas of ripe dark forest berries and dried plum. In addition hints of black pepper and liquorice. Medium-bodied on the palate, taut acidity flanked by ripe fine-grained tannins. Lots of dark fruit and some vanilla nuances. Medium length.
