2017 Pfaffenhofen Spitzenberg Lemberger Grosses Gewächs trocken, Württemberg, Germany

Slightly smoky and nutty, quite deep aroma of black and a little red berries with spicy and hinted bacon tones and quite fine, smoky wood notes. Juicy, tightly woven, polished fruit with smoky wood notes, spicy and herbal aromas and again a little bacon, a hint of juniper in the background, fine sandy tannin, has power but also bite, salty notes in the background, still undeveloped, certain depth, toasty notes, a touch of pepper, very good, firm, juicy and finely spicy finish
