2017 Blend II

Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Kirschfrucht, ein Hauch von dunklen Beeren unterlegt, florale Nuancen nach Hibiskus. Mittlere Komplexität, rotbeerige Textur, frisch strukturiert, dezente Beerensüße im Nachhall, bereits zugänglich.

Tasted as a filtered sample in December 2018, the 2016 Blend 2 Trocken offers an elegant and buttery bouquet of dark and red berries and cherries along with cassis, tobacco and toasty aromas. Intense and sweet on the palate but with elegance and good freshness, this is a fine, well-balanced and charming blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Zweigelt. Good concentration and length. When I tasted it mid-December, it was to be bottled at the end of December or early January.
