Tasting Notes

Vinous David Schildknecht - 01 Nov 20
This registers 11 grams of acidity – shockingly high by any standards, not to mention those of its vintage. Against that, 44 grams of residual sugar do not seem in the least excessive. But what sweetness there is here – looked at the other way around – helps keep the spine-tingling acidity from crossing the pain threshold. Zesty and brightly juicy lime and pink grapefruit are tinged with sizzling raw ginger and nippy cress, while bittersweet nuttiness and an undertone of set stone add depth en route to a mouth-tinglingly vibrant, resonant finish. This should be a fantastic keeper.
