Tasting from 09.10.2019: Peter Moser
Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, faint ochre rim. Multi-faceted bouquet with notes of fresh cherry, a hint of roasted coffee bean, dark nougat, spices like cardamom and oregano. Juicy and elegant with round, supporting tannins – not yet fully integrated, cherry and delicate vegetal notes on the finish and a taut, mineral style. Definitely still needs time.
