Tasting Notes
Two extremely different bottles. One (like all wines, opened the evening before the tasting and stored overnight, sealed with a bar top cork, in a climatic cabinet) smells of stewed fruit, greengage, malt, a (justifiable) hint of volatile is also vivid, but also fresh redcurrant. The palate is very softly grounded and has a powerful dose of grainy, dry tannins on top. The flavours are more developed than the structure - but this will still be exciting to follow. Density and length are exceptionally good. The wine from the second (freshly opened) bottle smells of raspberry and sage candy, has no oxidative undertones at all, appears fine-grained and dense on the palate, with a lot of juiciness and playfulness, but also only medium length. The highest dry extract of all the vintages produced to date (36.0 g/l).
