Tasting notes

Last vintage made under the communist-period of GDR. Brown colour. Quite a lot of sediment. Nose shows quite a lot of oxydation (acetaldehyde), but also lots of dried flowers, light caramel and figs. Dry and quite sherry-like in the mouth. Fruit shows more flowery approach though and not as nutty as an amontillado and more simple fruit. The acetaldehyde is a bit overwhelming. Medium acidity and dryish finish. Drinkable and interesting, but too old.
