Meyer-Nakel Spatburgunger S 2013

This is from he best vineyard parcels on steep slopes, from old vines, from the middle of the slopes (the sweet spot). Aromatic and fresh with red cherries, raspberries, some spice and some herbs. Very fine with a bit of nice greenness. The palate is so pure and direct with lovely bright red cherry and plum fruit, with a fine, detailed, mineral finish.

Swathes of violet and lavender scent this pretty Spätburgunder, or German Pinot Noir, highlighting a rich, sultry black cherry palate. Tart cranberry tones brighten the midpalate. Subtle tones of oak and spice, with a flurry of soft tannins accompany a moderately long finish.
