On the nose, a touch more robust than the Bühl, a little smoky, deeper core, a little light tobacco, nuance of caramel with fine wood sweetness, fine fruit, a little nut, a hint of dusty, yellow-green fruit, a little banana leaf, a hint of light pineapple, lemon balm, very nicely homogeneous and lightly interwoven, mango peel. On the palate, initially silky, melty, then straight expanding acid structure, stronger. Behind that, spice, citrus notes, finally a hint of wild apricot with a nuance of caramel sweetness. Medium body with fine power and pull. In the aftertaste, a fine interplay of fine creaminess, citrus spice, a hint of spiciness and fine grip. Overall: melting, power, viscosity, spice, finesse. (D.
