2022 Königsbach Idig Spätburgunder VDP.Grosses Gewächs, Pfalz, Germany

Cool, tight and precise, fine black and red berry nose with a hint of sour cherry, herbs, floral nuances, mineral notes and pepper. Tight, cool, polished, very juicy fruit with fine tannins, pepper and smoke, lasting on the palate, deep and complex, nutty tones, hinted roasting and ash, fatty nuances, a lot of salt and chalk, quite firm structure, still completely undeveloped, peppery and distinctly herbal tones, highly concentrated and at the same time finely structured, has, despite all its firmness, youth and depth, an enchanting charm, very good, firm finish with bite and noble juice. A masterpiece.
