Tasting note
Bright cherry red hue. A fruit-accented bouquet wafting with Amarena cherry, plum, wild game pâté with cranberry, a hint of lilac and, of course, forest floor, which lends varietal typicity. Lovely mouthfeel and notes of blackberry yoghurt, sour cherry, blood orange and sea buckthorn with a hint of saltiness. Vital acidity and elegant extract sweetness. Plentiful tight, firm tannins. An elegant and powerful wine with a long, refreshing finish. Opens up beautifully with air. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
