2006 Cabernet Cubin trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Woody, slightly coconut-spicy, also vegetal, slightly nutty-chocolaty nose on preserved and dried berries. Fairly soft, persistent, preserved berry fruit on the palate, touch of dark cherries, marzipan, some dark chocolate, more oak again, some intrusive aromas, hint of cassis, integrated tannins, full-bodied and slightly full-bodied, slightly astringent on a good finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2012+. What our ratings mean
