Salzl Zweigelt Reserve 2018 13,5% Vol. 0,75l

TASTING NOTES

Dark ruby garnet with an almost black core and violet reflections, fading slightly at the rim. Wonderfully delicate fruit notes on the nose, ripe sour cherries, cherry compote, blueberry, a hint of tobacco, fine roasted aromas, candied orange zest and fine spiciness in the background. The delightful creamy mouthfeel weighs enormously on the palate, pure fruit bomb, very mellow with delicately supporting acidity, salty minerality, juicy, ripe cherry fruit, red wild berry confit, fine tannins, chocolate touch, plums in the aftertaste, balanced texture, inviting drinking flow, delicate roasted aromas, some coconut and a long spicy finish. A wonderful and typical Zweigelt that guarantees a great deal of drinking pleasure.
