"The 2022 Lagrein wafts up from the glass like a freshly opened jar of blackberry jam complemented by tangerine zest. This is silky-smooth with a pleasant inner sweetness and juicy acidity. Sour citrus neatly contrasts ripe wild berry fruits. It tapers off gently tannic yet still fresh, ending with traces of licorice and dried black cherry."
