Tasting from 27.04.2017: Ulrich Sautter
Aromas of chocolate truffle with a delicate hint of development in it (a note of marsala), yet it seems simultaneously closed in a paradoxical way. On the palate dense, linearly built, supple base, rich tannins, firm minerality, it seems stable and long-lasting, a touch of greenness is integrated. Almost painfully mineral, red berry flavours on the finish.
