2018 Wintersheim Spätburgunder, Rheinhessen, Germany

Clear, tightly woven, predominantly blackberry scent with a hint of raspberries and cocoa as well as slightly mushroomy, herbal and nutty hints. Ripe, tart and somewhat spicy-woody fruit with a hint of liquorice and juniper, ripe, crumbly tannin, good substance and persistence, in the background long pepper, mint and dried mushrooms as well as very light animal notes, earthy and salty tones, very good, grippy and at the same time animating finish.
