Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - Remainder from wife Asparagus dinner. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of dark red florals, macerated ripe strawberries, dark red cherries, licorice, hint of salted meat. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), bristly high tannins, burly medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of salty minerality, iron meat, licorice, polished dark red cherries, macerated ripe strawberries. Long spicy finish.
Good quality. Quite a lot of substance if you consider that this is just an NSG Village. Gripe here is the lack of acidity and elevated alcohol and tannin. A bit Syrah-like.
