Tasted blind. More smoky than the Pettenthal in this vintage. So fresh you might think it had a light spritz, with a stony/mineral layer over the pure clementine and citrus fruit. A little more tension than in the Pettenthal – if that is possible. A little more grip. Deep and long and totally embryonic. Clementine and just-ripe apricot on the finish.
A little more topsoil (clay) over the red slate here than in nearby Pettenthal. Basket press and spontaneous fermentation. RS around 38 g/l and TA c 9 g/l. Cask sample.
