  This was just brilliant. Such elegance and finesse, while unmistakably Spatburgunder. A very seductive nose with more black than red fruit, beautiful oak notes, slight sous bois, the herbs, almost garrigue, that spatburgunder often shows. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Huber is a master in making the ultimate 'German Bourgogne'
  
  Not yet at peak in my opinion, can be even more complex with more tertiary notes

  Der Huber Schlossberg Spätburgunder GG 2012 zeigt eine faszinierende Geschmackslandschaft. Mit seinem burgundisch anmutenden Charakter präsentiert er sich sehr kirschig und läuft direkt auf den Punkt. Die Kalksteinmineralik verleiht dem Wein präzise Konturen und sauber definierte Kanten. Die schlank-feminine Struktur erinnert an einen feinen Volnay-artigen Pinot Noir. Dieser Spätburgunder, die Spitze in Deutschland, offenbart eine bemerkenswerte Eleganz mit einer feinen Länge im Abgang. Ein Genuss, der durch seine Subtilität und Finesse beeindruckt.
  
  Jetzt oder in den nächsten fünf Jahren trinken.

  Robe encore bien sombre.Belle perception de fruits rouges au nez principalement cerise,framboise,quelques épices mais l'intensité n'est pas optimale.De même,la bouche est un peu ingrate car pas complètement évanouie.Ce vin est moins avancé dans son évolution que son compère le Sommerhalde goûté au printemps.Je pense qu'un vieillissement supplémentaire de 3-5 ans lui sera grandement bénéfique à tous niveaux.C'est très bon mais on devine que le potentiel ne se révèle pas totalement aujourd'hui.

  Looks fairly aged being deep red and beginning to rim. Spicy oak and raspberry and cherry nose. Palate dark fruit - ripe cherry and dried raspberry with a nice mature earthy and slate note underpinning the fruit. Nice fresh acidity and decent concentration. The finish slightly shorter than ideal, perhaps slightly lacking complexity and layers overalls.
  
  So close to being awesome but didn't quite get over the line which was a shame. I don't think it'll improve further but should keep drinking well for a while.
