Tasting Notes

Tasting from 14.03.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Clear ruby with a slight purple shimmer. Opens with notes of Szechuan pepper, ripe wild raspberry, blueberry and some clove, exciting. Beautiful presence on the palate, rose petals, dark berry fruit and a fine carpet of spices, sweet texture on the finish.
