Note di degustazione
Pungent pennyroyal and a greenhouse-like amalgam of leaves and flowers are evoked on the nose as well as in the mouth, where piquantly pit-inflected white peach and alkalinity offer lasting stimulation, albeit without much primary juiciness or saliva-inducing savor. Having convinced myself that the cork was in order, I’m at a loss to explain this bottling’s inexplicably weak showing in the context of a great site, and I wish that I had been able to re-taste it before reporting.

A fragrance of apples and pears complemented by subtle herbal and spicy notes does not quite prepare you for the powerful performance of Bassermann’s Jesuitengarten on the palate. Fears about the broad and spirity character upsetting the equilibrium of a Grosses Gewächs, however, are laid to rest by an intriguing combination of spicy, nutty and mineral notes. Again, I suspect the use of wood, but it has been employed in a very judicious manner. (MS)
