Tasting notes: | Deep purple red characterizes our new Cuvée – 1487 – made from the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes of the vintage. The wine convinces with multi-layered impressions of black berries, plums and black cherries. Fine hints of incense and Bourbon-vanilla support the detailly nuanced impressions. On the palate the wine shows fruity and with a deep spiciness, very balanced and harmonic. It glides slowly over the palate and ends with fine acidity in a long finish. Very good ageing potential.<o:p></o:p> | |
