Gorgeous nose. I adore Frühburgunder. Adore it. Unreal classic intense Früh spice. Just penetrating your nose like nothing else. Violets and ripe mid season cherries. Wow. Dead decaying leaves that smell so good. Best decayed leaves you’ll ever smell. I have also smelled many decaying leaves in my lifetime. Amazing nose. Just sick. Palate is ripe and rounder the the Spätburgunder “J” with exquisite fruit and powerful concentration. Huge tiny berry fruit intensity and so so detailed and nimble. Ripe and stoney tannins and unreal persistence. Outrageous and most people would say closed. But it’s all there. My god this is insane. Fresh and so intense. The spice on the nose is at Dune levels after 10 minutes. Perfume of the gods. Amazing inner mouth florals and such painfully intense sweetness. Young and raw but my god there is so much material here and the wine does not quit on the finish. This is a 20 year Frühburgunder.

After air. Wow. Epic spice bomb of the gods nose. Just pure perfume now. Palate is getting melty and more opulent. The precision is unreal on this but still after 25 minutes this seems like it will need 2 hours to open up. I’ll be back. — 4 years ago
