Richer, denser, with more weight yet still very fresh, very fine and with loads of character.
Cherries & cranberries galore with touch of undergrowth, mushrooms and herby spice.
On the palate this is not that light, with slightly chewy yet very juicy tannins, brilliant acidity, a tea like mouthfeel. Complex, layered, elegant. This is quite exceptional! — 3 years ago
Mineral-forward aromas... limestone... and a little citrus pith. Bright acidity, crisp yellow apple and lemon peel, lingering minerals. — 2 years ago
Really dig a spätburgunder — 4 years ago
Soft spice, very round and juicy. Pretty apple, pear and melon nuances. Hints of vanilla, butter and chalk.
Just a pinch too much alcohol in the finish.
Ah well.
Cheers anyway.

Baden. Pinot. Kaiserstuhl. An old vulcano in the rhine valley. GG. Warmest area in Ger. figs grow there. Undertasted, ratet und non existent in the US. A suitcase import. Under imported. And overpriced when they are imported. Bought this for 20 bucks in 2012. Brown tinge. Orange zest nose, brown tinge. In the glass blueberries, bark, touch crushed marble, cardamom, hint turmeric, cherries and black tea. Great juice! Might go back May 2024. — 6 months ago
