Groszer Wein, Blaufränkisch Ried Szapary 2021

Slate. Attractive roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate nose. Ripe black cherries and cocoa, reminiscent of Schwarzwalder cake. Oak is well-integrated on the nose and palate. Wonderful intensity of fruit and balance on the long and lingering palate. Very good.

Scored on a five-star scale, where a plus is a third of a star. How I score and what I disclose is set out in my ethics and disclosure policy. More notes are in the review index, and the regional background is in Wine in Germany.
