Tasting note
Silky orange-red hue with olive green highlights. Exudes aromas of dates, licorice, graphite and dried herbs and some smoky notes. Tight structure and gripping tannins accompanied by fla-vours of candied fruit, cherry, blood orange, whey and truffles. Balanced acidity. Bone dry. Pow-erful and full of character – this wine shows more fruitness with air. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Tasting note
grilled meats and ash-coated goat cheese
