Year in, year out, the Kirschgarten from the Knipser estate is consistent in its spirity expression of cherries in brandy, perfectly complemented by the subtle oaky notions of bonfire smoke and cigar tobacco. The subtle handling of barrique ageing avoids any charred or overly tannic notes on the palate, giving velvety texture and juicy fruit the opportunity to display all their charm. A delicate sprinkling of wood spice and a dash of dusty minerality add the coup-de-grace on the finish.
