Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2010
Drinking away history as the winery is selling the current 2023 inventory this is it! This 2010 was a suitcase import after a visit at the winery. Brown tinge, still plenty of tannins. Cork in perfect condition. 12.5%. Closed for about 30 min. Then like Burghs used to be 30 years ago. On the rough side. Raw power!
Dark very ! dark cherry, touch port wine, some oxidation after 16 years. Cedar, black olives, orange zest, chalk, boy is this still tannic. Falls off after 2h’s. — 17 days ago

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2012
World class. Fully mature. Cork in perfect condition. Brown tinged. This is how burghs used to taste before they were fine tuned for the rich and famous. I had difficulties with the 2011’s. But this B. and also the M. are perfect. Light and elegant, Bergamot, lime, cranberry, red currant, faintest hint of bitterness. — 2 days ago

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2011
Another suitcase import. Upon popping comes across as disjointed. Big time BandAid. It takes 24 hours to come alive! Touch oxidized, heavy and big. Iodine, still some bandaid. I am not fully convinced. Will pop the remaining 2011‘s of the E&M big boys. At this point I would say drink check them out and drink up! — 15 days ago

'Basis' Pinot Noir 2023
This time around I get Raspberry galore. Tons of fruit. The classic black forest thyme, lime and tannins. Quite spectacular. Drink now - what a trip. Last vintage - Florian folded the winery and is selling his inventory! A Unicorn is gone! Sad 😢. 12%. — 19 days ago
Domaine Audebert et Fils
Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2025
Of the 24 Rosé’s or so I tried at a recent tasting. This actually had some body. Hence it was my fave. Incredibly pretty fruit. Cranberry mostly. Some strawberry. Tayberry who knows that one hahahaha??? Tart/hint bitter. Lingonberry is probably the closest. — a month ago

Perfect. I am not into high ratings or superlatives. But this is it. Powerful and ridiculous dense fruit. Elderflower mostly!!!! red and black currant. Can run another 2-3 years but wouldn’t risk it at this stage. My 2012’s were suitcase imports it was a time when the winery considered to stop importing to the US. I convinced them otherwise. One of the very few wines which still tickles my palate in ways other wines - just don’t! Often they just made one barrel 300 bottles. — 2 days ago
