The mossy, earthy smell you get in woods in autumn, or after a summer rain, from damp, rotting leaves or pine needles. That combined with mildly acidic red berry fruit is my favourite aromatic in red wine and, maybe, in anything. May I take the opportunity to announce that I have, just this week, taken delivery of a case of 2009 reds from Weingut Ziereisen, after a long wait.
