2017 Neusiedlersee DAC Gols trocken "Dorfweingarten - Sixty-Eight", Burgenland, Austria

Clear, polished nose of ripe black rather than red berries with cherry flavours, nutty barrel notes, a hint of tobacco and hints of meat, herbs and dark chocolate. Ripe, firm, very juicy fruit with slightly nutty and bitter chocolate nuances, fine, ripe tannins, animating acid bite, some toastiness on the palate, dried herbal and peppery nuances, a certain depth, salty-mineral tones, restrained power, very good, juicy and finely spicy finish with bite and moderate, very slightly sweetish wood spice. In top form, even better than 3 years ago, but still young.
