Tasting note
Ruby red hue. On the nose are a vast array of aromas – cherry yoghurt, dried herbs, dried tomato, cranberry, marzipan, mustard seed, root vegetable, Amarena cherry, juniper berry, violets – and delicate smoky hints including freshly burnt candle wick. Lean structure with perfect balance. Completely dry with juicy acidity, fine-grained tannins and mineral grip. The kaleidoscope of flavours continues with cornelian cherry, blood orange and more – a dance on the taste buds. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
