2018 Landwein "Wildner Red Sponti", Baden, Germany

Somewhat floral and slightly tobacco aroma of red and black berries with delicate nutty, smoky, undergrowth and herbal aromas. Quite firmly woven, tart, juicy, lively fruit, nutty and slightly coffee-spicy aromas, a little smoke and pepper, crumbly tannin, noticeable acidity, persistent and relatively complex on the palate, herbal hints in the background, salty minerality, a hint of juniper, some depth, quite firm structure, quite independent character, has tension, very good, fine-juicy and spicy finish with ethereal notes. Skilful.
