2015 Lahr Kirchgasse Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs trocken, Baden, Germany

A somewhat matured, nutty-woody, tobacco-like and slightly leathery scent of ripe predominantly dark berries with dried floral, slightly malty, fatty and peppery notes. Herb-juicy, somewhat developed, ripe dark fruit with nutty, slightly roasted and malty aromas, crumbly-sandy tannins, a certain warmth and power, good sustainability, dried mushrooms and bacon in the background, earthy tones, a hint of tar, very good, quite firm finish with juice and spice. No longer quite in the form of its youth, but still convincing.
