Spätburgunder 2016
Yesterday’s Wednesday Wine Committee, hosted by @Jeff Meyer , was so educational with fantastic German & Austrian wines. 1 sparkler, 5 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert wine. All served blind as usual.
This was my runner up for red of the day. Looked like Sonoma pinot based on color. Sweetened and candied black cherry aromatics with even some sandalwood, but very herbal and earthy on the palate. Spiced red fruits and bitter root. I called this Spätburgunder. — 20 days ago

Ihringen Vorderer Winklerberg GG Spätburgunder 2013
16.5/20 (90/100) Слепая дегустация, оценка полностью совпала с прошлогодней. Аромат вишни, перезрелой земляники и яркой копченой нотой. Умеренная тельность, высокая кислотность. Танины бархатистые. Очень неплохой шпет, но избыток дуба мешает. — 5 days ago

Vintage2017 Third year this wine was made by twenty young winegrowers from cooperative Dagernova, only 6000 bottles. Playful wine, frivolous. Would be excellent for lunches. — 20 days ago

Red of the day. Top producer and it shows. This reminded me of Oregon pinot. Plenty of herbal and earthy notes but a nice balance of fruit too. Underripe blackberries, black cherry, black tea, potpourri, bay leaf and a distinct herbal note (oregano? Thyme?). Tannic but so nicely balanced. I called this Spätburgunder. — 20 days ago

Bürgel Rheinhessen Spätburgunder 2011
KP likes to say that he makes pino for fun. However, if this wine is of any indication, KP's pino's are as serious as any of his rieslings. The 11' Burgel would easily give the Burgundies of the vintage a run for their money. In fact, it's apt to say that the wine was very Burgundian, given how most placed it in the region in our blind.
The wine's in a great spot for drinking at the moment. No greeness or lady bug. Bouquet of red and black cherries, sous bois, floral spice, mushroom, soy. The palate's energetic and tangy, fruit's a little more dried out with a more profound spice element, and a touch of creaminess. Silky texture, with tannins and oak fully resolved. There's a sort of balancing VA, which also brings savouriness - I feel this is what makes it quite Burgundian. Up for discussion of course.
It's good to see a pino from when KP still bottled them in riesling bottles - perhaps from when he still thought of them as "fun". This is the oldest pino that I've drank from Keller (would have been the 07' Burgel Felix last year if it wasn't corked. FU cork!) and I think it's safe to say he never did treat his pino's lightly. I mean, it's arguably even crazier now - we did spend four days just sorting the Morstein pino grapes, berry-by-berry, in 2017.
Unpopular opinion: KP's spatburgunder's are not value buys anymore (heck! The 2015 Morstein had a hammer price of 610€ in last year's VDP auction). For me, there's still better wines to be found in Burgundy at the prices that the Keller pino's go for. That said, with the rising prices of the latter, this opinion may soon be invalid. — 23 days ago

Hexamer
Weissherbst Spätburgunder Rose 2017
Dubbed the perfect summer wine by my wife, not too dry, not sweet, not too alcoholly. Yes that’s right alcoholly. Really good. The color is deceptive, you may not think this is a Rose, but a white wine (Blanc du blanc), beautiful color. The wine store manager said this is “delicious af.” We agree with her. Hexamer hit it out of the vineyard. — 11 days ago

Superb as always. Nose of spice, bright cherries, juicy and deep with amazing rich liaison like fruit and such incredible depth. So wonderful and clean. Fresh but not hugely acidic. Just perfect. So juicy. Balanced and refined. Long and so pure. Just one of the best roses in the world. — 8 days ago
