2022 Großheubach Bischofsberg Spätburgunder VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Clear, polished, hinted smoky nose with red and black berries, cherry lengths, dried herbal nuances, and initially moderate then increasingly roasted barrel tones. Clear, polished, juicy fruit, slightly roasted to burnt and smoky wood aromas, a bit of cocoa on the palate, persistent, with a grip of youthful, yet rather soft tannins, lasting, good substance, with salt and a bit of tobacco in the background, also ashy nuances, very good, juicy and finely spiced finish with a touch of smoked salt.
