Tasting notes

Terrible looking bottle. Low fill. Cork wet all the way. Seemed to be leeking. Still when opened, no signs of oxidation and great juice. The colour is transparent brown-red. The nose is a killer. It has a great aged sweetness in it. Anise, medicinal, old dust and fine floral high notes. Medium bodied spätburgunder in the mouth. Off-dry style. Some sweetness remains. Nicely evolved Höllenberg-character. Medicinal, anisy, old dust. The finish shows some spice. Round and kind mouthfeel. Decent acidity and rounded out tannins on the finish. Great wine.
