2011 Lemberger trocken Hades, Württemberg, Germany

Spicy oak, roasted coffee and a hint of tobacco on the nose, ripe black and a few red berries, whiff of dried herbs, some licorice and leather. Firm and full-bodied on the palate, ripe, partly preserved and dried dark fruit, light smoky oak and some bacon, cocoa and coffee notes, persistent, noticeable warm alcohol, integrated sandy tannins, some depth, earthy and salty traces, very good finish.
