2014 Assmannshausen Höllenberg Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheingau, Germany

Youthful, somewhat reductive, somewhat smoky, earthy and vegetal scent of ripe, bright red berries and also a little black berries and cherries with yeasty notes, slightly floral notes and clear minerality. Firmly knitted, ripe, juicy, tart fruit, still quite closed-looking, smoky, greasy and yeasty notes, present, but rather fine tannins and a certain acid bite, persistent, with light, slightly nutty wood tones and a lot of salty mineral notes, completely undeveloped, very good , tart, juicier finish with quite noble fruit.
