Editor note: Translate to English Noch etwas unruhiger, deutlich vegetabil-würziger und einen Hauch öliger Duft nach Kern- und Steinobst mit Melonentönen, Kandisnoten, etwas Kräuterwürze und Mineralik. Klar und saftig im Mund, reife Frucht mit pflanzlicher Würze, gemüsigen Spuren und präsenter, feiner Säure, eine Spur Gerbstoff, recht straffer Bau, mittlere Substanz und gute Nachhaltigkeit, herb-mineralische Töne, nicht ewig tief, aber bestens balanciert, sehr guter, herb-mineralischer Abgang.
