2023 Schweigen Sonnenberg Spätburgunder VDP.Grosses Gewächs "KT", Pfalz, Germany

Slightly smoky and a hint of dried floral nose with red and black berries, cherry nuances, as well as a bit of wild herbs, underbrush, and bacon. Clear, very polished, herb-juicy, rather cool-appearing fruit, fine, youthful tannin, and a bit of bite, lasting on the palate, has freshness and life, slightly nutty and smoky in the background, tobacco nuances, a hint of forest mushrooms, suggested coffee grounds, very good finish with fine, increasingly delicious juiciness and bitter spice.
