Brand Brothers, Mythos, Pfalz

Made from the varietal Cabernet Mythos (and a touch of Riesling), your first impression is that the wine is essentially an opaque, dark-almost aubergine-like purple in the glass. What you'd intuitively expect is something forebodingly tannic and powerful - what you have instead is a voluminous mouthfeel with almost no tannin! There's a sense of dried cranberries, dark cherries and stone fruit (perhaps from the Riesling) and a wonderful spice underpinning it all. A fascinating wine!
