2021 Pfaffenhofen Hohenberg Lemberger VDP.Erste Lage trocken "Junges Schwaben", Württemberg, Germany

Youthful, taut and fresh scent of cherries and blackberries with toasty wood nuances, bread spices, a hint of cloves, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. Ripe, bitter, juicy fruit, still undeveloped, a bit of smoke, soot and roasting, a certain acidity bite, present yet relatively fine tannins, lasting on the palate, herbal in the background with a hint of pepper, still barely developed, very good, bitter finish with increasing, refined juice, a touch of soy and shiitake mushrooms.
