From the village of Oberrotweil, good, but not great, results.

I’ve found Keller’s wines to be excellent in recent vintages, but some of the 2019’s confounded me.
2019 (Oberrotweil) Eichberg Spätburgunder GG
Earthy/mud nose. Dense, concentrated in mouth, but flavors are muddy. Power. What’s going on here? Just needs time or not a success? ?

Floral red currant nose. Medium-eight, firm, concentrated, tannic, red fruits. Fair amount of acidity. Needs 8-12 years. 90(+)/B+
