| Tasting Note | : |
The Alps and the Mediterranean meet in a glass! Mountain freshness (think wild herbs) and bright fruit (think Amalfi lemon) come together in a wine that marries a stack of fine tannins with wet-stone minerality on the the tightly wound palate. Make no mistake, this has been built for very long aging, so decant to aerate, if you drink it any time soon. Breathtaking energy at the very long finish. Drink or hold. - James Suckling The bouquet shows tremendous impact: teeming with fruit, restrained yet buzzing aromas of seasoned oak, chalk and flint. A really elegant and structured palate shows white fruits, ginger, and dried honey with a vigorous acidity and almost stark minerality. A sensational wine with decades ahead of it. - Decanter World Wine Awards A little tighter in structure than the 2013, lean and crisp while delivering juice and flavour. Slate and citrus, lime blossom and white peach, a vertical rise through the mid palate, and an incredibly long finish, pummice stone texture wrapped in silk. A vintage with long slow ripening, three weeks later than normal with harvesting through to middle of October. A brilliant wine from Rudi Kofler and the team, whole cluster pressing, malolactic fermentation and ageing on lees for 12 months in large wooden barrels. - Jane Anson |
