Spätburgunder Marbleous 2020

The 2020er Spätburgunder Marbleous comes from 80% de-stemmed fruit picked in an east-facing vineyard in the Winninger Domgarten and on younger vines in the Moselsürscher Fahrberg and was aged in 5-6-year-old barrique for 24 months before being bottled unfiltered. This dark-red-colored wine offers a nice and complex nose made of ripe cooked strawberry, underbrush, clove, cranberry, orange peel, smoke, and violet. The wine proves silky and gorgeously smooth on the fruity and herbal driven palate and leaves a superbly juicy and multi-layered feel in the superbly persistent finish. The balance is slightly on the round side but the tactile, fruity, and silky properties are truly outstanding. Now-2030
