Tasting Notes Orbacca describes a dark-brown wine with amber reflections, showing dried apricot, raisins, dates, honey, caramel and tobacco, with a dense, velvety palate and exceptionally persistent finish. In their 14 October 2025 Falstaff tasting, Othmar Kiem and Simon Staffler described shimmering amber-orange colour, walnut, caramel, dark chocolate and tobacco, followed by an elegant, concentrated palate with seductive sweetness, lively acidity and a long finish.
Food Pairing Complex dry pastries; blue cheeses; and leaf- or cave-aged cheeses of pronounced persistence.
