2020 Ahrweiler Silberberg Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Ahr, Germany

Slightly smoky scent of ripe and black berries with some dark ethereal spice as well as dried floral aromas, a little dill, tomatoes, mushrooms and dried herbs. Still undeveloped, tart fruit with smoky, dried herbal and a little juniper aromas, rather cool juice, present, youthful, medium-fine tannin, persistent on the palate, good substance and some depth, salt, mushroomy and bacony nuances in the background, firm construction, a little bitter chocolate in the background, very good, firm, tart-juicy and again ethereal-spicy finish.
