Community Tasting Note

  • J_H Likes this wine: 89 points

    December 4, 2021 - Weinkongress 2021 (Restaurant Sonne Leuggern): - Tasted blind
    - Nose: Somewhat reductive nose, medium intense aromas of popcorn. In addition, the red fruit with strawberries and plums is subliminally recognisable. The reductive aromas are too strong, especially at the beginning, they dissipate a little with time.
    - Palate: Is simply sexy, has a sweet touch of again candied plums and strawberries. Velvety tannins that are well integrated. Unfortunately a little too little acidity (medium) and also not extremely long on the finish.
    - An exciting bordeaux blend from Lebanon but cannot keep up with the medium/high class bordeaux in terms of ageing potential (it doesn't have to for this price). Should be drunk now.
    - 89-90 points
