2015 Achkarren Schlossberg Grauburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Baden, Germany

Clear, fairly polished nose, nutty pomaceous fruit, delicate vanilla spice and a hint of smoke. Firm, ripe, somewhat nutty fruit with melting and very fine bite, slightly smoky and vanilla wood spice, some grip from crumbly tannins, has power and a certain warmth, mineral notes in the background, still relatively young, a hint of bacon, vegetal and hints of mushroomy tones, very good, firm finish.
