2019 "Cuvée Rot", Franconia/Franken, Germany

Somewhat nutty, vegetal to dried herbal and hints of smoky aroma of predominantly black berries and a little cherry with a hint of dried mushrooms. Straightforward, slightly preserved fruit with a hint of bacon, fine tannins and a certain persistence, some chocolaty wood flavours in the background, salty tones in the good finish.
