2015 Neuenahr Sonnenberg Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs trocken, Ahr, Germany

Fairly earthy nose, root vegetables, particularly celery, some red berries, parsley, nutty notes and some mushrooms. Clear, fairly firm, fresh, juicy, elegant red fruit on the palate, strawberries and some watermelon, fine, youthful, slightly silky tannins, light acid bite, chalky mineral notes, delicate hint of roses, spicy aromas, good persistence and depth, still young, but already approachable, hint of cloves, very good, long finish with elegant cool juicy red fruit and elegant spice.
