Winninger Spätburgunder 2015

Same vintage as the Buntsandstein. But totally different. This is more aligned with a middle of the road Burgh vis-a-vis the Enderle & Moll which is a class by itself. Cork wet and all the way through and soft. Wax capsule. Cherry nose. Over all really not that interesting. — 2 days ago

Alsheimer Spätburgunder 2015

Slighty better wine now (see my old notes) - First flat after 1 hour it shows. Elegant could benefit from a little more fruit. OK but not wow. For some reason her Pinots have not won me over. Certainly not Enderle & Moll level! — 3 months ago

Excellent value. Nice cherry nose, with herbal character and wet leaves. Palate with generous acidity, more deep cherry fruit, hint licorice. For the price, it has great presence, could age in the medium term given the acidity. — 11 hours ago

Rhini Blauer Spätburgunder 2021

An amazing vintage here. Nose is a bit funky out of the gates but wow once it gets going it’s all red cherries, sour cherries, and wild herbs. So so good. Really lifted. Palate is mega closed but my goodness rhys is super precise and focused. Like a laser. Unreal freshness and acidity and barely ripe sour cherry and early season cherry fruit. Insane velvety and sour/sweet tannins. Wine as sweet tart. This needs air. It’s got the bones but I will check back in an hour or two. Oh this is getting better but it’s gonna be slow. Angular and dense but so balanced. That Rhini structure abounds. — a month ago

Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2022

These E&M wines are just stupido! What do i mean by this? Popped opened. Joined 2 bottles into one because i was not convinced/unhappy. Got close to the sink. Then decided leave in the fridge for 2 weeks. And Voilà now quite awesome. Strawberries, tart, rhubarb, ….bark, more red than Rosé. Dark, complex, orange zest, dark cherry. Would age this 2-3 years. Revisit and then decide on even more cellar time. — 4 months ago

Have not had in 3.5 years and wow this is drinking so well. A superstar. Nose is all wet earth, decay, sweet spices and macerated cherries. Palate is a wonder of juicy cherry fruit, freshness and layered complexity. Dead leaves, buoyant acidity and a long, lingering finish. Needs some time to open but man is this great out of the bottle. As this airs the palate complexity is so compelling. The tannins are so oh so fine. This after many hours was so elegant and fine. Meaty and pure. This is drinking perfectly now after an hour open. — 24 days ago

Bürgel Spätburgunder 2015

Rounding off a Keller themed weekend with the 2015 Bürgel. Hands down the best bottle I've drunk of this! Proper high end quality with depth and concentration for days...held together by succulent acidity. Such an impressive wine!!! — 4 months ago
