From the area not far from Battenfeld-Spanier in the Rheinhessen, more good Spätburgunder.

2017 (Grosskarlbach) Im Grossen Garten Spätburgunder GG
Spice, depth, power, dark fruits; a touch rustic for the moment but should come together to be a beautiful wine at 10-15 years’ age. 92/A
2017 (Laumersheim) Kirschgarten Spätburgunder GG
Good energy and depth to spicy dark (especially blackberry) fruits, still a little tannic, but depth and completeness are evident. 91/A-
2017 (Dirmstein) Mandelpfad Spätburgunder GG
Floral nose with some spice. Dark fruits, depth, intensity, needs some time to come fully together. Some oak showing, but should resolve in time. 90+/B+
