The 2022 Spätburgunder Dalsheimer Bürgel Grosses Gewächs opens with a slight crackle of smoky reduction, wrapping itself around red berries of tart and highly aromatic allure. The palate dances, going all out with its charm. It irts with red-fruited exuberance; ripe raspberry, tart mulberry, vivid redcurrant and crunchy cherry all meet. Silky tannins swish, performing with ease, joy and a certain eortlessness. The body is exquisitely light and tender. It’s so vivid and alive yet boasts grounding depth and tingling freshness. This portrays as much ebullience as elegance, with lip-smacking juiciness and utter, freshfaced purity of fruit. (Bone-dry)
