100 / 100 Falstaff Magazin

1959 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2019

Mittleres Kramingranat, Ockerreflexe, breite Randaufhellung. In der Nase feines Nuancen von eingelegten dunklen Kirschen, terroirtypischen Ankl?ngen von Cassis und Minze, feine ?therische Noten, zart nach kandierten Orangenzesten und Nougat, ausdruckvolles Bukett. Am Gaumen elegante Reifesü?e, perfekt integrierte Tannine, angenehmes S?urespiel, mineralisch und anhaltend, ein gereifter gro?er Rotwein, ein triumphaler Mouton, der auch in der Einzelflasche noch bestehen kann.
