The initial impression is characterised by Hirschbirne pear with hints of tobacco on the nose. Gradually, elegant aromas from maturation in large wooden barrels are also revealed. Stollwerck chocolate on the palate and lots of yellow pear again. Makes a real impact. The limy minerality typical of the local Opok clay marl and a constant acidity structure make the wine very easy to drink. (Thomas Schabl, Sommelier)
