Muller Catoir Mussbacher Eselshaut Rieslaner BA 1990

This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting

There is fine volume to the exceptionally rich medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mid-palate that delivers fine depth and length on the balanced finish

The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result

A remarkably elegant and spicy nose that is now fully mature reveals the initial hints of sous bois while leading to rich

more freshness and notes of raspberry leaf

cool and beautifully spicy aromas of secondary red currant aromas that exhibit a discreet whiff of sous-bois

with a toasty profile to the peach

wonderfully integrated

Somewhat unusually at this early stage

weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the firm tannic spine on the strikingly long finish

pure and dense

earth and game that exhibits discreet floral top notes that are trimmed in discreet wood nuances
