Königsbecher

A savoury red fruit flows from the glass, along with tomato sugo, liquorice, freshly mown grass, wet forest floor, red balsamic vinegar, juniper, marzipan - an exciting, complex aroma, even the wood is still detectable. Rough type, taut, polished tannin, elegant structure, very finely matured, delicately savoury echo.

Medium deep ruby red colour with some maturity. Nuanced nose with fine layers of ripe red fruit like cherry, raspberry, gingerbread spices and finely toasted oak. Rather dense texture but with a nice polish and grainy tannin, ripe red fruit notes with a fresh acidity underneath, and a long and grippy finish. Nice balance and drinkability today but still with potential for further ageing.
