Tasting from 20.01.2022: Anne Krebiehl MW

Aromatic toastiness and a lick of vanilla wrap themselves around ripe, red cherry on the nose. The palate is dense, and fresh, plush, bright, ripe, red cherry also has that glossy sheen of French oak. Density and concentration is undeniable and the fine, ripe tannins are velvety and smooth. The generosity and richness of the fruit is central, made luminous by bright oceanic, salty freshness. The finish is lasting and smooth.
