Randito 2018

Tasting note

With long subtle pepper notes in the nose, we experience the randito freshly opened very directly and berry with aromas of sour cherries on the palate. Rather dark in drinking style with nice cassis notes, a bit musty and violet tones of violets. Blueberry and light purple curry notes with a great animalism are added to this. The intense tannic acid makes the wine beautifully concise and gripping. From the beginning on. Like a long-distance runner, this red wine cuvée is very persistent and, with its intense tannic acid, super grippy with a currant-like finish. As the guy on the label suggests, Randito is complex with youth, radiance and flavor.

With oxygen, the wine becomes softer, silky, dense and elegant overall. The tannic acid becomes more charming but the spicy tone lasts. The wiry athlete remains. The wine is never over-the-top. The acid develops slim and filigree without the animalism fading. With more air, Randito now has something discreetly smoky from grill-burned poultry skin. At the moment, this wine still needs a lot of air to become emotional. But it shows what it has right from the start.

Tip: Open the wine at least an hour beforehand and decant it. Use large glasses and drink cool, at 12 degrees.
