Translate to English Tiefer, hefig-würziger und leicht tabakiger Duft nach mehligen und getrockneten Äpfeln und Steinobst mit Noten kandierter und getrockneter Zitrusfrüchte sowie viel mineralischer Würze.

Editor note: Translate to English Komplexer, sehr mineralischer, kühl-kräuteriger und noch ein wenig hefiger Duft nach Renekloden und Aprikosen. Sehr reife, saftige Aprikosen- und Reneklodenfrucht, tabakige und kräuterige Würze, feiner Säurebiss, wieder auch hefige Töne, auch etwas Gerbstoff, wirkt daher noch ein wenig eckig und auch unentwickelt, sehr nachhaltig am Gaumen, kräftig, intensiv mineralisch, sehr gute Tiefe, lang. Erst beeindruckend, lässt er am zweiten Tag etwas nach - um am Dritten wieder deutlich zuzulegen.
