Tasting from 26.04.2022: Peter Moser & Anne Krebiehl MW

A hint of lichen, of moss and conifer clings to the dark fruit, almost with a citrus intensity. That perfume also informs the palate which seems compact, bullet-like, contained, seamless. There is luscious, melting, ripe fruit with a crushed blackberry character. The tannins are fine, freshness pervades the wine. This is firm, ripe, taut, fresh, dense, sleek, aromatic. There is focus and elegance. AK
