Jaspis Däublin Syrah 2018

9.4

Devastating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wife grabbed the wrong bottle from the cellar and decided to make Glühwein/Spiced wine for her pickle ball friends this afternoon. Was left with barely a taste. An amazing rare German Syrah. Notes of chocolate, violets, leather, hint of dark olives. Dark berries with a cherry undertone. Super fresh. Touch bitter. Plenty of tannins left. Should last another 5 years or so. — 5 months ago

Blackberry, black cherry, oak aromas; big dark fruits and a big okay body with soft acidity and tannins and lingering baking spices. Delicious alone, but going to be amazing as a glühwein on Christmas Day 🍷 — 3 years ago

Winterlandschaft – Glühwein (Mulled Wine)
Germany 🇩🇪

Overview
Glühwein is Germany’s traditional winter warmer, a spiced red wine typically enjoyed at Christmas markets. Unlike regular table wine, this one comes pre-spiced and ready to heat, just pour gently into a pot (don’t boil!) and serve steaming hot.

Aromas & Flavors
The nose bursts with festive spice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange zest, and a whisper of star anise. On the palate, it’s warming, slightly sweet, and packed with flavors of mulled cherries, baked apples, dried cranberries, and holiday spice medley.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a velvety texture. The sweetness is balanced by the spice, creating a cozy, round mouthfeel that lingers with a warming finish.

Food Pairing
Perfect on its own as a winter treat. It also pairs with gingerbread cookies, roasted nuts, fruitcake, or savory bites like roasted sausages and cheese fondue.

Verdict
A ready-to-drink festive classic, cozy, nostalgic, and perfect for cold nights. It’s not meant for deep analysis but for pure enjoyment with friends around the fire or strolling through a Christmas market atmosphere. Cheers!

Did you know?
Glühwein literally means “glow-wine,” a name dating back to when it was heated with glowing red-hot irons in medieval times. Today, it’s a holiday tradition across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. — 7 months ago
