Editor note: Translate to English Etwas wachsiger, sehr mineralischer und leicht tabakiger Zitrus-Pfirsichduft mit Quittentönen, ein wenig Aubergine und deutlicher Kräuterwürze sowie nussigen Anklängen. Kraftvoll und fest im Mund, wieder betont mineralisch und kräuterwürzig, mit Luft reife, saftige Zitrus-Pfirsichfrucht mit Ananasnoten, präsente, feine Säure, nachhaltig am Gaumen, süßliche Noten, neigt ein wenig zur Breite, leichter Gerbstoff, wird mit Luft straffer und gewinnt auch noch an Tiefe, recht langer Nachhall. Erst am dritten Tag in Bestform.
