Meyer-Nakel Ahr Pinot Noir Blue Slate 2018

The wine has a bright red color with a purplish hue. The nose expresses a lovely perfume of ripe cherries, dried rose petals, tobacco and wet earth. Aromas of ripe red fruit and restrained tannins make up the sensual mouth feel. Delicate hints of burnt caramel and leather work to accent crisp, cutting notes of sour cherry and fresh strawberry in this briskly composed Pinot Noir. While full bodied and silky in texture, it maintains a transparency of fruit and pert acidic structure that’s invigorating. Approachable young, it should continue to improve through at least 2030 and hold further.
