Jung, aber schon echt gut. Könnte noch gut 3 bis 5 Jahre auf der Flasche liegen und vlt dadurch in der Komplexität profitieren. — 5 years ago

Great recommendation from @Gavin Jung ! Love this vintage. — 7 years ago
Noch etwas jung. Man spührt die wilden tannine. Bereits angenehm stoffig und komplex. Zeder, tabak, dunkle kirschen. Lüften für min. 1 Std oder ein par jahre warten — a year ago
Hoch bewertet, weil sehr fein und nuanciert im Fruchtbild und im Abgang. Dank Schraubverschluss noch sehr jung wirkend. Was bei der Bewertung auch mitspielt: seit 97 regelmäßig geordert und ganz selten nicht die Erwartungen erfüllt worden. — 5 years ago
Green apples and shy apricots on the nose, with a whiff of white pepper. On the palate however this is not shy at all. Racy, steely lemon acidity with good weight and electric tension. This is unmistakably Rheingau in all its beauty. A lovely wine and drinking very nicely already now. — 6 years ago

This is Siggenthaler (Weingut Erwin Umbricht-Jung).
Pinot Noir, Fluh AOC.
13.1% ABV.
Finished with a screw cap this initially showed some reduction upon opening and the wine seemed almost diluted.
On day 2 the reduction has blown off and the palate is way more balanced and concentrated.
Please don’t overlook Swiss red wines, especially with some age.

Nice surprise of a biodynamic (5 years, family owned since 1802!) vineyard, sister of the sibling pair (brother the wine side) hosting tasting at Strasberg shop specializing in independent vignerons. Tasted orange wine from Guwurztraminer (!), excellent, Pinot Noir (very nice and elevated in tone), and a Klevener de Heiligenstein (Savignan Rose in Loire) which is totally new to me and a very tasty wine that seemed like a marriage of Savivgnan and Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley. This Riesling though is truly surprisingly terrific, blasts of petrol and stone fruits that lingers, encouraging one to skip the sip. On palate it’s acidic and full yet with unctuous notes that I’d not experienced from their German cousins. Long evolving finish. Tasted with Margaret G (she recoiled at first from that petrol), bought one and opened at last boat dinner, excellent with appetizers and salmon trout entrée and even did fine with the Turkey roulette. Left reminder (120ml?) in bottle and next day was fine! Poured into small plastic water bottle with obvious air gap and it was still OK for next two days. So this fella can age for sure. I’m guessing at five years old it just entered teenage with still some baby fat but taking on big muscles, of course it’d be nice to try the younger vintages. Lady was not fluent in English and could only say these grapes were grown on sandy soil. Limited distribution in CA and Chicago. Nice accidental find. Most wines in store were unknown to me and the prices were all reasonable or better from the US perspective. Sigh! — 3 years ago
