2018 Heimersheim Landskrone Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs "B48", Ahr, Germany

Tart more black than red berry nose with floral and tobacco nuances, hints of mushrooms, dried flowers, juniper and bacon. Ripe, slightly warm fruit with smoky and a little toasty aromas, some sandy and drying tannin, coffee notes on the palate, some power and persistence, not eternally deep, dried mushrooms in the background, some salt, Mediterranean herbal nuances, a little dark ethereal spice, relatively warm, somewhat drying finish with Mediterranean spice.
