Moving along tonight, we're enjoying a young Spätburgunder after about a 60m decant.

Nose has dark fruits, plum, black cherry, wet iron, dried vine, dry soil, but wow that iron note is distinctive, almost sweet, interesting.

Palate is a little drying, dehydrated cherry, iron and minerally soil. A very long finish for a wine that's evolving more complexity with each sip.

I'm really getting into Baden-based winemakers. This is the premier vintage on this bottle. Future bottles should wait until 2022+

36hr Update: Palate has picked up significantly, bright cherry with a touch of raspberry on the finish. Iron note to the nose did not give up. — 7 days ago

Very Burgundy in style with strawberries & cream + a touch of herbs. Nice mouthfeel with polished tannins and red fruit, juicy acidity. Very nice balance with a lingering finish. This is much bette than expected, Pommard Village quality for a fraction of the price. — 2 days ago

Great nose. Big leafy, cherry, opulent, earthy, wet earth, so much spicey complexity. Chestnut. Almost smells like a Barolo. Palate is high acid and very juicy with terrific balance and very pure. Like any Walter wine it needs an hour but wow is it all there. Supple, wispy tannins. Huge finish. So precise. Very gamey and very mineral. So savory. What a wow like texture. — 8 days ago

Perhaps the lightest-colored Pinot I’ve poured. Floral, perfumed, light-bodied but with nice acidity and cranberry, rhubarb, blood-orange notes. Some tomato leaf notes, a little green peppercorn. Very subtle, even compared to Burgundy. Spätburgunder has not seen the last of me. Solid QPR. SommSelect. — 2 days ago

This is 16 despite the label. Awesome nose. Big cherry fruit, some sweet oak, mint, soil tones, and just an amalgam of intense fruit. Really elegant and juicy with lithe silky tannins and such purity. Terrific structure and top notch finesse. Amazing purity and elegance. Long finish and very chewy. I think needs 3-4 years and/or a 3 hour decant. Terrific focus and freshness. Stunning balance. Awesome. Lovely stuff. — a month ago

What a value. Pure, fresh fruit on the nose. Citrus, slate, red cherries, mandarin orange, some spice. Lovely. Palate is ripe and even rich with zesty citrus and floral flavors with barley there tannins and so juicy. German Glou Glou. — a day ago

This is unknit right now. Baby Hercules. Nose is still a bit woody. But if you peer under the covers it has it all. Dense fruit. Spice. Acidity. Length. Clings to the palate. Awesome texture. A thing of beauty. This rating is a low end of what this should be. The freshness of this wine given the density is astounding. Crazy dense length. Like squint your eyes in disbelief length. It should be epic in 2-3 years. One if the great vineyards of Europe. Old school. Bought from fass selections. — 19 days ago

German Pinot Night - Huber has his own oak forest which he uses for his barrels - so he does not use American Oak as one of the reviews suggested. Much more fruit than E&M. A lot of folks loved this wine for me too much fruit but still an excellent wine. Orange zest - lime - plenty of tannins. This has 5-10 year left. Green tea - tart apples 🍏 and hint of cherry. Not imported to the US - suitcase Import. — a month ago
