2020 Fellbach Lämmler Lemberger Grosses Gewächs, Württemberg, Germany

Firm and quite deep, youthful, still almost compact aroma of ripe black berries with herbal notes, tobacco, juniper, restrained woody aromas, dried floral tones, a hint of root vegetables and tobacco. Firmly woven, concentrated, herbaceous, almost cool fruit, smoky and toasty tones, dark peppery and juniper-like ethereal spice, persistent and dense on the palate, bacony nuances, a little parsley in the background, present, youthful, yet very fine tannin, very slightly sweet melting, chalky and salty minerality, still undeveloped, good depth, multi-layered, very good, tight, juicy and again ethereal-spicy finish. Has class.
