2017 Grauburgunder Landwein, Oberrhein, Germany

Onion-skin colour. Very slightly open but also slightly restrained nose, nutty notes and some dried vegetal notes, fairly mature pomaceous fruit, hint of mushrooms and tobacco, mineral traces. Polished, fairly soft fruit on the palate, earthy notes, hint of red berries, touch of yellow spice, peppery notes, very elegant, lively acidity, integrated tannins provide grip, fairly good persistence, fairly dark mineral notes, hint of coffee, good to very good, fairly tart finish.
