Top Notes For
Patrick Knöfler

The wine was dark ruby in colour and offered red fruit, ripe raspberry, cooked red cabbage, leather, tobacco, spices, vegetal notes as well as hints of chocolate, gingerbread, espresso and vanilla on the nose. On the palate the wine showed red fruit, ripe raspberry, spices, clove, dark chocolate as well as herbal and vegetal notes, paired medium to medium-plus acidity, med-lvl tannin and very good length. A med- to full-bodied, balanced, med-complex, oak-influenced Carmenere that may be consumed now, but also showed potential for further Development with moderate cellaring. Would have guessed South Africa. Much better on day two than on day one. 90
