2019 Bombach Sommerhalde Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Baden, Germany

Still almost a little closed, dried-herbal and slightly nutty aroma of ripe more red than black berries and cherries with some toasty and peppery tones and a hint of wasabi nuts. Clear, fine-juicy, tight, almost cool fruit, lots of red johnny berries, fine, youthful tannin and noticeable acid bite, persistent, slightly smoky and peppery, dried-herbal flavours, in the background also salty minerality, light cocoa notes, very good, quite juicy finish with fine, dark spice and bite again.
