Weingut Hans Lang – Spätburgunder 2013 – Rheingau VDP Gutswein

Red wine with a quite low colour intensity here. Light ruby core and tawny towards the rim. Fruit forward on the nose. No evidence of oak. Rather, sweet red berries. Strawberry, cherry, a mild spiciness. The palate is on the lighter side, with a quite lose structure. Not a lot of extract or tannin. The nose indicates sweet fruit, but on the palate it is more sour cherry, cranberry. However, with balance, I think it is all harmonious now. With a quite juicy in this soft and subtle style, I would say. Yet, with a good freshness. So a lighter style of Pinot Noir, with a good drinkability. A wine that should be consumed in its very youth.
