Description (also kippen) for a wine in the context of a wine address that has recently passed the peak of its development and samit has, so to speak, "tilted" or "tipped over" into the negative phase. This manifests itself in a lack of fullness of flavour and too little body. The negative increase or the final stage of it is over and dead. See also ageing, bottle age ing and drinking maturity.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
