2013 Merlot Beerenauslese Blanc de Noirs, ***** Brilliant, Baden, Germany

Wilt-floral aroma of partly pickled stone fruit and pome fruit with dried planty and nutty aromas. Very sweet, partly candied and dried fruit in the mouth, candied nuts, flowers and honey, some orange peel and herbs, suitable acidity, not too deep but very cleanly done, good, clear and quite juicy, again very sweet finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2030. What our ratings mean
