Wolf Dietrich Salwey
GG Henkenberg Spätburgunder
Baden, Germany
Wood, a bit of spice, fudge (?) and, of course, some red fruit on the nose. On the palate, the wine is a bit green or stalky, but still very nice with plenty of fruit and medium tannins. I get hints of oak in the finish.

Have tasted a number of German PNs during our trips down there and often been disappointed - but not today. This wine from Konrad Salwey has an elegant fragrant Beaune-like nose with small ripe red berries and light oak; high acids and smooth tannins but a rather weak mid-palate. Alcohol feels higher than indicated. German and Italian sausages and Swiss group Yello on the German vinyl turntable made for a great central-Europe-themed evening !

Beautiful, uplifting aromas of spice, incense, dried red berries, a touch of mushroomy undergrowth and a whiff of cedar wood. Aetheric and very Musigny-like.
On the palate still remarkably youthful. On the lighter side yet with a decent, super fine tannic presence and juicy, orange-peel infused acidity. Love the mid palate especially with the umami flavours slowly emerging. And the long finish is not bad either!
Glad I still have a few bottle of this left!

A nuanced nose of strawberries with herby complexity. Soft and light, aetheric, yet with good character, polished tannins yet with a bit of (white tea) grip. Opens nicely over time. A beautiful wine.
