Tasting from 14.02.2019: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Rich, dark ruby with some garnet tinge. Very compact and intense nose, opens with savoury notes of forest and wood bark, then lots of ripe berries, cherry and raspberry. Round and smooth on the palate, spreads extensively, lots of dense tannins, enveloped by the fine texture.
