Weingut Edling, Rossdorfer Rossberg, Spätburgunder 2016, Germany

Tasting Note: Another example of a delightful, affordable spätburgunder from Germany.

Medium-intensity purple in color, this wine has a pleasing, aromatic nose of strawberry, red plum, crushed red cherry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied pinot noir delivers smooth, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose along with some hints of vanilla baking spice and raspberry.

There are some notes of midpalate complexity backed by medium-plus acidity, and slightly-grippy, medium tannin.

The wine has a medium-plus-intensity, black-plum-infused finish.

A great bargain for the price point (in Germany).
