60% Pinot Noir, 40% Frühburgunder, and the Frühburgunder is roaring tonight. Bottle 255/300. Soppy macerated mid-to-late-season cherries, violets, wild mint, wet moss, red sandstone spice and deep Centgrafenberg mineral perfume. Palate is ridiculous: silky, creamy, ripe, rich, seductive and hedonistic, but still fresh and perfectly balanced. Sweet fruit melts across the mouth, then the finish goes architectural, long, layered and delineated. A German Pinot cathedral. — 7 days ago

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

@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
