Note di degustazione
Still not on the market, the 2018 Completer Amen opens with a concentrated yet still fruity, elegant and vinous bouquet of fresh pineapples, peaches and new barriques. Dense and very sweet on the palate, this is a frisky and stimulating saline noble sweet wine that is rich and very sweet yet neither oily nor sticky but even finessed. The wine us based on healthy shriveled berries without botrytis. This is a beautiful wine made for generations. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2024.

Barrel fermented and aged. This is a cold sample so not very aromatic. But it has lovely depth and richness of yellow-plum fruit. So much intensity after some rather bland Chasselas just tasted. Pure, rich citrus and apricot and so fresh even with such ripeness. The oak is subtle and the fruit generous. (JH)
For a late-ripening local variety (and rarity), Martin Donatsch's 2018 Completer Malanserrebe displays a radiant golden-yellow color and reflects the warm vintage on the nose, which comes across almost as an Ermitage (Marsanne) from the Rhine. Deep, ripe and intense yet super mineral, refined and complex on the lemon-scented and floral nose, this is a full-bodied, round and lush, very concentrated but juicy yet fine, persistently firm Malanser that reveals excellent purity and elegance with sustainable mineral freshness, salt and grippy phenolics. Powerful yet fascinating. The 2018 is a mouthful of Completer. Bottled after one year in barriques with 14.5% alcohol. Tasted in January and February 2020.
