Tasting note
Bright ruby-red hue with crimson reflexes. A fruity bouquet with scents of Amarena cherry and plum cake. Noble concentration with a taut structure, a mineral core, enormous grip and tight tannins. The palate exudes super clean and clear red berry fruit – lingonberry and cranberry – and a hint of graphite.  Bone dry with fine acidity and wonderful harmony; a calm and noble wine of great Burgundian character. Youthful with beautiful potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
