A Pinot displays a medium intensity ruby hue, becoming increasingly captivating with its prominently outlined glycerin ring and almost oily, sluggish movement. Its youthful, developing aroma reveals barrel spices, red-fleshed fruits, and a hint of minerality.

On the palate, a beautiful varietal character unfolds, primarily shaped by aromas of ripe cherry, black sour cherry, and raspberry. Its concentration and richness in taste are attributed to the fruit from the 20-year-old vineyard in the excellently endowed Steiger cru.

The fine tannins from 14 months of barrel aging, as well as notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee, indicate a strong presence, but a noticeable integration has already begun in the finish.
