Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 4, 2021 - Wine samples from J. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of minerals, blood orange, red cherries, faint whiffs of iron, and a bit of nicely ripe stem. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, super-fine medium- tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet sandalwood, lots of stony minerality, elegant red cherries, tangy blood orange, sour red cherries, stemmy spice. Long finish with intermittent signs of haemoglobin blood and iron.
Very good quality. Finely etched and feels transparent and yet has a little bit of austerity at the moment. Will need time to reveal its susbstance. Not like you imagine a Rugiens to be, but somehow I still like it, and it leaves me thinking about it long after I finished my last sip. Would like to try this again in another 2-3 years' time.
