Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 25, 2016 - Quite a full straw yellow colour; on the nose the wine is starting to open up, above all there is this deep and spicy, almost saline minerality, but also a sense of the rich and succulent fruit that is lurking underneath, and some Alpine flowers, great depth; the full-bodied (13.5% ABV) and concentrated palate is heavily laden with ripe fruit, but the firm acidity carries it without any effort, the residual sugar is perfectly integrated, the grapefruit bitters provide delicious grip; complete and resonant finish, excellent length. A Schlossberg monument, gradually evolving into a real beauty. I asked Josi Leitz what he thought of the ageing potential of this wine and he said 20-25 years at least. So drink now - 2030+.
