2011 trocken Inspiration, Z, Ahr, Germany

Tart, slightly woody and tobacco scent of black berries with dried herbaceous and vegetal to earthy nuances, some sour cherries, dried flowers and mineral notes. Sweet, creamy, somewhat compote fruit, fairly fine tannins, lots of fat and warming alcohol, fairly persistent, floral aromas, some mineral notes in the background, not particularly deep, but also young, good, slightly jammy and fairly alcohol-rich finish.

Best to drink: 2014-2017+. What our ratings mean
