Very close to perfection. See previous notes but this also has Iodine (As a chemist i am well familiar with that note). Unspitable. In the top 1%. See my previous notes. Pinot does not get better than this a perfect expression of the site north of Freiburg on the slopes of the black forest. — 4 months ago

Dear Friends warning this wine needs 48 hours to open up! I kept it for that time under Argon!

Still think the 2015 Muschelkalk mights have peaked. I opened 3 bottles. The first was oxidized and the other 2 were good to world class. The cork on all three was quite soft.

The wine has this ethereal character but the twisty black forest herbs are somewhat gone. It is still great to drink - but to shine one needs stupido patience.

Calk, very faint cherry. (Collecting E&M since 2009. And have been at the winery every other year.).

If you have it you must really experiment and play around but also - drink it up! Not a wine for normal or sane people.
#Will check 2015 Bundsandstein and IDA next. — a year ago

This is the Rosé Villa Ida 2022 from the Côtes de Bourg estate Château de la Grave. 100% Merlot, fermented and aged in dolia jars. I am not a big rosé fan, but this is a deliciously fresh wine with impeccable purity. — 3 years ago

From the August wine share. Smoke-y, roast-y, malt-y. Not much fruit, maybe blueberries or blackberries. Hits right in this Tropical Storm Ida weather ☔️ I like it 🤔 — 5 years ago
