Tasting Notes

Tasting from 18.03.2016: Peter Moser

Dark ruby in colour with a deeply coloured core, purple reflections, and a subtle watery rim. On the nose, delicate tobacco, fine herbal spices, subtle blueberry, and floral nuances. With air, revealing aromas of mocha and steak, plus blackberry confit. The palate is juicy and elegant, with fine black fruit and herbal savouriness, the wood is very well integrated, discreetly fruity. Very harmonious, mineral and persistent, full of finesse, this has the potential for further ageing. Has obviously not quite reached the point where it’s ready to drink yet, but already all the pieces are in place.
