    *** all wines tasted blind ***
    Glass: Zwiesel 1872 Moment Pinot
    Clean, medium garnet color with orange rim. Unbalanced nose with lots of lovage and sweet fruit.
    On the palate also gone, unbalanced and fallen apart. Bottle and cork were ok. The experts on the table thought that this is not due to a bad bottle but oxidation during the ripening in the cask…
