Nose

the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz has a serious, savory nose, featuring smoked meat, char-grill, Indian spices and black pepper notes over a core of preserved plums and mulberries, plus suggestions of tree bark and dusty soil.

Palate

Full-bodied and very firmly structured, the earthy/savory, muscular fruit is supported by firm, chewy tannins, and it has a long pepper and spice-laced finish
