2015 Oberrotweil Kirchberg Chardonnay Grosses Gewächs, Baden, Germany

Tart and firm, nutty, slightly herbaceous-vegetable, somewhat woody and reminiscent of popcorn with citrus and pome fruit aromas and quite clearly artichokes. Ripe, melting, yet tart fruit, a little smoky and nutty wood with vanilla tones, fine, quite lively acidity and some grip, buttery flavours on the palate, again also popcorn, salt and salted caramel in the background, some depth, has power and a certain warmth, still rather young looking, very good, firm and at the same time melting finish. Will be able to develop longer than originally expected.
