2003 Neuenahr Schieferlay Spätburgunder Auslese trocken Goldkapsel, Versteigerungswein, Ahr, Germany

Deep nose with clear blackcurrants and forest berries, still clearly noticeable lactic notes reminiscent of wild yeast fermentation, racy mineral notes. Complex and interesting on the palate, deep fruit and mienral structure create a vibrating tension, oak is supportive and completely integrated in spite of the wine's youth, clear structure, complex and gripping on a very long finish.
