2014 Kleinbottwar Oberer Berg Lemberger Grosses Gewächs trocken Der Schwarze Loewe*****, Württemberg, Germany

Light earthy notes on the nose, moderate oak, light dried vegetal notes, predominantly black and a few red berries and some cherries, delicate herbs and spices. Ripe, juicy, fairly polished fruit on the palate, spicy oak, herbaceous traces, persistent, very fine tannins, light bite, mineral notes in the background, nutty aromas, quite an elegant style, hint of tobacco, smoky traces, some depth, very good finish. Has almost completely integrated the oak, and can already be enjoyed.
