  Strong tannins, and oak, with some brightness and complexity but not enough fruit and life and a bit fuzzy on the tongue on the finish.

  Ripe blackberry and plum smell, some green pepper and mint, Woody and soft in the mouth, just enough refreshing acid. Creamy finish. Pretty good, lacks a bit of character.

  red Cherry on nose shifting to cooked blackberry and raspberry on palate. Purple flowers and oak in middle. Rather full mouth, long off-dry finish. Very nice old world. ~ Ate with lasagne, decent pairing.

  Mystery selection from Frau Knowles. Drunk with a splendid chicken roasted on the barbecue.
  
  Decanted for 3 hours or so. Rich, almost heady smokey fruity smell. Lots of blackberry, plum. Medium bodied in the mouth, more black fruit. Surprisingly high acid for the ripeness of the wine. Not a huge amount of tannin, but lots of oak. All comes more or less well together. Long satisfying finish. Very good.

  Franz Zimmermann Lagerverkauf 2018 (Roßhaupten, Bayern): Quite pale in the glass, herbal and blackberry smell some spice. Medium bodied and quite round in the mouth, relatively high acid and some oak noticeable. Just enough freshness. Good.
