2022 Gundersheim Höllenbrand Spätburgunder VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

A festering somewhat smoky aroma of ripe blue berries and increasingly sour cherries with toasty traces, dark tobacco, cannabis, Assam tea, a bit of forest floor and juniper nuances becomes finer with air. Clear, cool, fresh, herb-juicy fruit, vibrant, fine acidity and ripe, still youthful tannin, herbal notes in the background, hinted dark-ethereal spice, good sustainability, salty nuances, a touch of tobacco, some depth, restrained toasty tones, a bit of cinnamon and mint, very good finish with lively, dark juice, smoke and again some roasting.
