Tasting Notes

Tasting from 21.04.2017: Peter Moser

Dark ruby in colour with purple reflections, appears very youthful with a subtle watery rim. An immensely attractive bouquet on the nose with fine, dark berry confit, ripe cherry, a touch of liquorice and fresh orange zest. The textured palate, shows very good complexity with fine, supporting tannins, persistent and elegant with pleasant fruit that lingers for minutes, inspiring youthfulness. Great ageing potential. (Drink/+20).
