The raspberry nose alone of this wine will renew your hope in artist wines. And also your hope in raspberries and in noses, in case you were losing faith. This is a full-bodied wine with just the right amount of spice, and, true to the name, a satisfyingly satiny suggestion of espresso.
A movement of Bach's Coffee Cantata came to mind while drinking this, in which it is suggested that even better than coffee is "Einen wackern Liebsten" - A brave sweetheart, or according to some translations.... a lusty lover! Oh! Bach always *nose* best!
β« Drink with: fabulous Canadian soprano Anne Grimm performing, with The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, βLiesgenβ, from J.S. Bach's Coffee Cantata
