Frühburgunder or Pinot noir précoce. Picked this up from Seeger, drove home, opened and started drinking. Immediately appealing with red- and blackcurrants, smoky background notes and balanced acidity. Keeps getting better and better in the glass. Simply put: delicious! — 5 years ago

Vintage 2015 | Frühburgunder makes me uncertain when to drink it? Very young within two years, are can it be kept and develop extra taste...? Enfin, this Ahr wine has a elegant smell at age six years. With caramel impressions and lovely raspberry. Also elegant and vibrant in taste. Paired with a burger. — 5 years ago

Wild feral nose. Red cherries, spice, loads of spice, chestnut, wood shavings, violets but wow spice. Must be the Frühburgunder. Palate is hyper elegant with lovely finely knit tannins and mid season cherry fruit. Very pure. Juicy. Needs a few hours to open. Finish starts off short. I’ll be back.

After 20 minutes this got sick. Huge violets on the nose and the finish is long, complex and lingering now. Gorgeous sweetness and purity. Dazzlingly fresh and long. — 7 years ago

@Delectable Wine This is Fruhburgunder Burgstadter. Thanks!

Nose is spicy and a tad green. Tree bark and violets. Lovely perfume. Supple as supple can be but still firm tannins. Juicy and clean. — 2 years ago

New one from Thorle. A favorite grape. Nose is all violets and spices. Tweed jacket and wool as well. So unique. Superb minerality and earthiness. Love the nose here. Not sure how much Rheinhessen Fruh I’ve actually had. Not much if any.

Palate is sweet and silky with terrific purity, concentration and sap. Very very nice. Violets, red cherries and some blackberries as well. Really great sweetness and ripe tannins. Terrific wine and value. Really wonderfully textured and so elegant. This bats way way above its class. — 5 years ago
