Stunning cherry on the nose. Mid season and sour. Very vivid. Floral and minty as well with lovely leafiness. Palate is stunning. Like a great 96 burg with tremendous fruit and huge acidity. Really needs an hour to get going as 2010 is still relatively young. Amazing texture that is silky and it is buoyed on the finish by stunning freshness, epic fruit and spice. — 7 days ago

A more powerful PN, yet very elegant st the same time. Engaging nose of roast coffee, wet stones, dark fruit, cream and a whiff of exotic spices and dried tangerine peel.
On the palate silky & smooth, seamless. A round mouthfeel but with purity of fruit and juicy acidity. The tannins are dusty and really fine, the 17m of barrel aging (small & large barrels) perfectly integrated. Works really well with some mature hard cheese. — 10 days ago

Vintage 2015 / Thanks @Eric Hoepelman for bringing 15/16/17 from Germany to review the differences. 2015 has a refined strawberry smell, very light wine, with nice vanilla and minerals — 25 days ago

Wow. In a great place. Nose is spatburgunder spice. Palate is crazy cherry, cherry pit, a hint of bitterness. Juicy. Great texture. Bought from Fass Selections. ... as it opens the nose is a panapoly ... gorgeous spice. A hint of cinnamon. Finish has a hint of licorice. — 6 days ago

16/20 (89/100) Вино с ароматами маринованных овощей, клубники, малины и поджаренного хлеба. Довольно тельное и кислотное. Вкус соответствует. За последние два года аромат вина ещё больше скатился в овощи, не уверен, что его вообще стоит хранить. — 3 hours ago

One of the best Pinot’s on the Market for 20 bucks or so. Juicy and inviting. Strawberry touch Cranberry and hint of black tea leaves. Smokey. A fantastic wine of high quality for a Party. A high rating because of the low price. — 25 days ago

Sometimes i get carried away and my German Heritage shines through. So I tasted this wine ‘after distancing myself for 2 weeks’. This is still a stunner could be a 80$ bottle of burgundy. For the money 30$ or so unbeatable. Dark cherries minerals, salty just delish. I will for sure seek out the next vintages. — 9 days ago

A Coravin sample was used to test this wine. AND? I will buy the 16 just to see were this producer will go. Elegant and mostly raspberry driven. Chalky. I get orange 🍊 rind on the back palate. Tightly coiled right now and hard to judge. Needs time. Revisit in a couple of years or so. Unfortunately rare and highly allocated. From Lyle Fass. — 17 days ago
