Deep Ruby red with nose of ripe cherries and berries. Nice mouthfeel with fine tannins and some notes of eucalyptus, pepper, sour cherries at the end. Medium long finish. Quite delicious and opens up really nicely after about an hour. What’s not to like about this wine! Glad I got 5 more!

Evening session at ESBK. Drank in Grassl Cru. Pop and poured. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity with aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry liqueur, small hint of eucalyptus leaf. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), integrated high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavorus of black cherry sweet liqueur, blackcurrant, black licorice, very thin layer of eucalyptus. Long finish. Good quality. Drink up. As good as it gets already.

Still drinks well in 2021. Bottle was stored well based on fill level and cork condition. Excellent nose and fruit flavors. Slightly tannic when drinking right after opening, none on second day. Never tried this wine in its youth, but enjoyed it now.

Drinking beautifully still and should last for a few years more!
