Mourvèdre and Cinsault

While certainly a good effort I was somewhat under-whelmed given the usual standards this wine offers

French oak

The estate’s 2004 Barolo Vigna Rionda is beautifully perfumed

This possesses really lovely aromatic complexity with a hint of the sauvage to the plum

Markus Molitor, Trarbacher Schlossberg Pinot Noir 3* Size:6x750ml Mourvèdre and CinsaultWild and untamed as always yet pure, fresh and slatey on the still reductive, just slightly oaky and leathery nose with its tobacco and sweet red fruit and plum skin aromas, the full bodied, tight and concentrated 2016 Pinot Noir Trarbacher Schlossberg *** is juicy, nervy, salty and piquant on the palate, which is also tight and tensioned and with great astringency. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
