2017 Spätburgunder "Handwerk", Ahr, Germany

Tart nose, still slightly reductive, light smoky notes, red and a few black berries, peppery, nutty and earthy notes. Cleaqr, polished, elegant, juicy, tart fruit on the palate, light acid bite, fine tannins, delicate nutty and peppery traces, hint of tobacco, fairly persistent, herbaceous traces, salty notes in the background, some bite, elegant and spicy on a good to very good, fresh, juicy finish. A pleasure to drink.
