2004 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Used a Durand but cork was great. Top-notch fill. Super chunky sed..like vintage port. Nose good, not great, but biggie structure and balance all there. Medium body. Not a personal fave but may hafta pick up a few more of these for those inclined to partake. There will be 2004 Insignia going steady for quite some time. 12.22.23. — 4 months ago

Lovely German Pinot Noir. Almost 20 years old but still bright and fresh. Some tertiary aromas kn the nose, cola and sour cherry on the palate. Finesse. — 6 months ago

Black cherries stand out against earthy beet and blackberry. Graphite rings and smoke curls around bay and sage, acanthus and peppercorn. Green in spots and muted on the palate, this one is unfortunately young and missing something. Pepper and cedar overpower the fruits and the tannins are aggressive here, giving a stemmy impression. May develop over time but gangly and awkward here.

Nose is chlorophyll, mineral and sweet green. So evocative. Sea air. So layered. Some smoke. So elegant. White flowers. So pretty. Palate is so crystalline. Unreal purity. Elegant and finesse driven. Faint peach fruit and incredible acidity and depth. It glides on the palate. Really juicy. Long. Just another wonderful 21. — 5 months ago

Gorgeous nose of sweet greens, minerals, sweet melon, white flowers and some white cherries. Such a clear and classic nose from this corner of Franken. Palate is crunchy with huge acidity and delicious, palate slathering minerals. Juicy with wonderful purity and freshness. Terrific mouthfeel and awesome mineral, crunchy texture and that licking a rock feeling that elite German riesling has. Great grip and concentration and a delicate tannic structure. A triumph. — 5 months ago

Closed, cool, with muted power. Dark berry & cherry. Quite a tannic frame but juicy & polished, not aggressive as Becker’s Kammerberg.
Nice flow & great depth. Juicy acidity. A beautiful Pinot with more power, very classic Fürst style. — 7 months ago
