2020 Kallstadt Saumagen Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Clear, polished, quite firm, fresh and deep aroma of red and black berries with herbal nuances slightly reminiscent of parsley, pepper as well as floral and juniper traces. Ripe, juicy, polished fruit, fresh and relatively tart, very slightly juniper-like and ethereal-herbal on the palate, peppery nuances, lively acidity, very fine, youthful, still drying tannin, dark, somewhat charcoal-like wood tones, then also chalky minerality, lasting, very good, firm, tart finish with bite, grip and again ethereal spiciness. Becomes juicier, more mineral and complex over 2 days.
