2019 Istein Kirchberg Spätburgunder, Baden, Germany

Clear, somewhat nutty aroma of more red than black berries with nutty, mushroomy and dried floral nuances. Quite juicy, rather calm fruit, crumbly tannin, nutty wood aromas, some chalk on the palate, dried-floral notes and a hint of juniper, relatively clear, somewhat toasty, a little dark wood, lasting, some power, very good finish with salt notes.
