2019 Schweighofen Spätburgunder trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Somewhat nutty and dried-vegetable to -floral aroma of red and black berries with a hint of cherries and mushroomy-earthy nuances. Partly preserved fruit with nutty and smoky wood, fine sandy tannin, some bite, some persistence, slightly warm on the palate, cocoa notes, not too deep, warm, partly preserved fruit and a little bitter-chocolatey wood also on the finish.
