Kuhling Gillot, Kreuz Spatburgunder GG Size:6x750ml and the time in oakThe 2021 Sptburgunder Oppenheimer Kreuz Grosses Gewchs is from Triassic calcareous marl. There is richer, darker fruit, verging from red into black cherry. Smoke overlays the nose for now, while the aromatics almost touch Amarena cherry. This is darker, more brooding and heavier, with a dense tannic web. Yet there are aromatic red fruits with highlights of elderberry. (Bone dry)
