2012 Altenahr Eck Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Ahr, Germany

Somewhat spicy and dried vegetal scent of ripe red and also black berries with tobaccoy-woody nuances, herbal-vegetal tones, bacon, mushrooms and certain minerality. Ripe, juicy, partly preserved fruit with slightly nutty, chocolaty and tobacco aromas, first rather soft tannin, firmer with air, melts and a certain warmth on the palate, lasting, has power, in the background quite clear mineral notes, a hint of bacon, tender bite, certain depth, very good, juicy, again somewhat preserved-fruity finish with an almost sweetish melt
