2019 Königsbach Idig Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Clear, rather fine and quite deep, somewhat nutty-woody and delicately toasty aroma of ripe red and a little black berries with cherry nuances, pepper and a little tobacco. Clear, tart, firmly knitted fruit, smoky and slightly coffee-spicy wood, a hint of bitter chocolate, dried-vegetable to herbal nuances and a little pepper, fine acid bite, polished, youthful tannin, a little smoke, clear minerality, very fine herbal notes in the background, has freshness, still undeveloped, good depth, very good, firm finish.
