Tasting notes

Brick-red colour. Towards brown. A lot of animal fur and autumn leafs on the nose. Slight cherries and some fine floral high notes. Light and mature spätburgunder in the mouth. Acidic structure. Quite oaky feel on the fruit. Evolved and complex with hints of autumn leafs, cherries, some florality. Nice, but it would have been even better with less oak and a little more fruit. Fine acidity and some tannins showing in the back. Decent length. This is a very good german spätburgunder that has evolved nicely.
