Out of stock

Despite its youthfulness, it shows its full spectrum of richness, aromatic diversity and density, but at the same time, thanks to its discreet tannin and its invigorating acidity, it is an exhilaratingly light wine. As if freshly poked from a mortar, the wine is spiced by allspice, nutmeg, clove and a scent of lavender that is not to be despised.

Tasting note from Jun 12, 2019 copyright Peter Mueller

Color

Dark violet in colour with an opaque core, the wine shows clearly and brilliantly in the glass.

Nose

Cranberries, wild blackberries, sloe, indeed the whole round of dark berry fruit melds into one another and yet is clearly recognizable as each in its own right. Although it seems as if all of them were mixed into a fresh-fruity compote, the wine does not have any jammy hints.

We are grateful for this blessing.

As if freshly poked from the mortar, the wine is spiced by allspice, nutmeg, clove and a scent of lavender that is not to be despised. Last but not least, its nose is grounded by aromas of roasted porcini mushrooms and beetroot.

Palate

Delicate, delicate and soft, the 2018 Matassa Rouge from Tom Lubbe appears on the palate and literally floats along as if it had just got upwind with the paraglider. Despite its youthfulness, it shows its full spectrum of richness, aromatic diversity and density, but at the same time, through its subtle tannin and its invigorating acidity, it is a buoyantly light wine.

A wine that simply changes Bruce Lee's philosophy "Be Water, my friend" by one word.

Be wine, my friend.
