2016 Saulheim Probstey Spätburgunder trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

Herbal tart, slightly yeasty and nutty notes, quite firm, red and a little black berries, hint of tobacco, pepper, earthy and mineral traces. Tart fruit with nutty, slightly greasy and smoky notes, still a touch yeasty, fine, youthful tannins, spicy and hint of tobacco, also a little nutty wood, again a hint of pepper, in the background mineral notes, also delicate nutbuttons and salt, very good, still slightly dry finish.
