2016 Frühburgunder trocken C, Ahr, Germany

Fairly inviting nose, light earthy notes and floral traces, beet root and red berries, hint of black berries, peppery and leathery traces. Fairly light-bodied and cool tart, firm fruit on the palate, becomes more juicy with aeration, earthyn otes, tobacco and undergrowth, delicate hint of ash, light acid bite, fine sandy tannins, hint of mushrooms, good persistence, salty traces, light grip, still young, good to very good finish.
