2022 Cabernet Franc Landwein trocken "Simonroth®", Schwaben, Germany

Clear, polished, slightly tobacco-like scent of ripe black berries with fine herbal notes, a hint of sour cherries, as well as hints of paprika powder and pepper. Juicy, cool-acting fruit that is polished despite all its power, youthful yet fine tannin, a bit of bite, quite dense and persistent on the palate, smoky, nutty, and roasted undertones, a hint of coffee and cocoa in the background, salty notes, persistent, certain depth, has elegance and at the same time emphasis, very good, firm, pure-toned finish.
