@Delectable Wine this is Merlot. Thanks.

German Merlot here we go! Gorgeous nose of plum and spice. Some red berry fruit and tons of earthy and mineral character. Some spice and cocoa as well. Very pretty and super elegant nose. Layered, nuanced and deep. Smells like a cross between old school Pomerol and Fuerbach, where this comes from in Baden. So so dope. What a ringer! It has killer airiness. Palate is so good. Amazing purity and depth. So juicy and clean. Finishes so mineral and has big, ripe and juicy tannins. So pure and sappy. Really really well balanced. Terrific Bordeaux like structure which suggests this will age for a decade at least but also has that 17 up front drink me now character. Just a terrific Merlot. Really gets even more freshness after air. Such a beauty.
