2020 Neuenahr Sonnenberg Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Ahr, Germany

Firm aroma of mixed berries and dill with tobacco aromas, some nuts, tomato traces, pepper, fresh mushrooms and some minerality. Clear juicy, almost cool, fresh fruit, some bite and slightly sandy tannin, again dill and a bit of barely ripe tomato on the palate, peppery tones, hints of olive oil spiciness, cocoa and coffee in the background, tones delicately reminiscent of spiced bread crust, has power, good persistence, salty minerality, very good, firm finish in which the dill also emerges again.
