2021 Weil am Rhein Spätburgunder Alte Reben, Baden, Germany

Clear, delicately smoky, floral and tobacco aroma of more red than black berries with cherry nuances and a little herbs. Tight, juicy fruit, crumbly and sandy tannin, smoky and tobacco notes, some dark roast, also juniper and peppery tones, some herbs and a hint of liquorice, good persistence, some warmth, salty hints, a hint of sunflower seeds, has bite, very good, tart and juicy and again a little ethereal-spicy finish with smoky and nutty wood notes.
