Aldinger 2019 Fellbacher Lämmer Lemberger Grand Cru dry is a wine that offers a complex and intriguing experience. With its warmer vineyard and 20% new oak, it's aged in barriques for 16 months, giving it a rich and full-bodied taste. The nose hints at menthol and black fruit, with a liquorice root undertone. The palate is rugged and muscular, with brambly briars, cassis, and a deep, inky texture. A pool of cool acidity adds depth and balance to the wine. This wine is reminiscent of a walk through the forest, with masculine notes of leather combined with flavors of cassis, black currant, and pine-needles. The white pepper spiciness and rough tannin give structure, while the sharp, fresh acidity provides a lightness to the wine. It's a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for 10-15 years, best served at a temperature of 14-18 Celsius.
