Tasting Notes

Tasting from 08.09.2016: Ulrich Sautter, Peter Moser, Othmar Kiem

A very charming trace of oxidative patina (which tends to fade rather than strengthen with standing time in the glass), Marsala, fig compote, but also fresh motifs: blueberry, liquorice. Oily and mild on the palate, quite rounded with very fine, flatteringly matured tannin, viscous-ethereal transition to the finish where the tannin finally gains some astringency quite abruptly. Very exciting wine, stylistically completely out of time.
