Tasting note
The nose is reserved and mystical, typical for Käferberg. Complex and wellstructured on the palate, abundant spiciness and vintage-like tension, showing good intensity and concentration, clearly demands bottle ripening; piquant spiciness to the end. Excellent maturity potential, it is worth to wait until at least 2020 before opening a bottle! To await a pleasure is itself a pleasure.
Food recommendation
cooked veal (Tafelspitz), fried tuna steak
