One can’t really make Pinot better than this. The Buntsandstein aka - colored Sand Stone. Is really a benchmark wine. One can debate the the style but not really the quality. 2015 was a stand out vintage. This comes from old vines. The wine is alive and talks. Yes talks to you:… Kirsch, almonds, crushed marble, black forest thyme, hint orange zest, touch oregano, … this goes on and on as more flavors evolve with air. The wine will probably age another 5-10 years.
An experience really! But not for the middle of the road „ let’s have a Pinot drinker“ - they will be disappointed ☹️.

I think this will outlast the 15’ Muschelkalk from E&M which is more delicate. One of the main issues the wine is hard to come by. Sometimes only 3 barrels are made. Next day eucalyptus and dried figs. — 12 days ago

Addictive and absolutely stunning. Super elegant and lean when compared to the Buntsandstein from E&M. Ethereal cherry 🍒 light as air. Crushed Marble. Essentially like a Premier Cru Chambolle Musigny from the slopes of the black forest. Tannin’s fully resolved. Drink Up!!!! I would not keep this longer. From here on out it will loose its luster. — 8 months ago

Still catching up on the Henschke tasting last weekend. This was another Cuvée new to me. Brief notes. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Light Pass in the Barossa. Matured in 8% new and 92% seasoned French oak. Not overly “Cabernet “. Barossa is best suited to Shiraz IMO. Black cherry and fresh herbs. Not a standout when one is surrounded by other outstanding Henschke reds. — a year ago

Dark big and tannic. Too extracted for a Chambolle. Can go another 10 years. Excellent flavor profile, tea black mostly, dark cherries, boysenberry, crushed marble. Very very good. 13.5%. — a month ago

First vintage of this Jadot outfit. Dark cherries, crushed marble, hint lime, cigar box, black tea. Subsequent vintages could never match this 2013. Who knows may be legendary wine maker Jacques Lardière was involved or they had better oak barrels shipped from France. 13.1%. Really a stand out for this wine from Oregon. Drink up at this point. — 7 months ago

Excellent. Super earthy and dark for an E&M. Fully integrated, raspberries, bark, touch dark cherry, blackberry, touch crushed marble. Still tannic can go another 4 years or so. What a wine. Really! — 10 months ago

Rotten eggs on the nose. Once this blows off this turns out to be an excellent and interesting Burgh like Pinot for less money. Terrific aromatics. Cherry, earth, touch crushed marble, hint meyer lemon, some spice, just a hint of all-spice.Only 12.5% yeah! — a year ago
