A darker Pinot with a bit more punch. Needs to breath a bit and then shows dark cherry with a raspberry whiff, a hint of kirsch, some nicely integrated spice woody aromas. Enticing.
On the palate this is so smooth, velvety, with a nice round mouthfeel and so fine tannins. Impeccably balanced and is drinking so nicely right now.

Nice and balanced, by-the-book Spatburgunder but goes under the international name Pinot Noir. Spicy, peppery and dried berries character — 2 years ago

Ok, ok - quite good and by far my favorite from Thorle (the first non-Spatburgunder). It has that smokey quality on the nose. Wooly, vegetal, hint of whistle clean lemon counter cleaner. The mouth is vibrant with 2.5 times the acidity you're expecting. Hangs on the tip of your tongue for an extra dedicated couple of seconds. — a year ago
Scouring a wine list, my eyes always perk up at the sight of a Spatburgunder — 9 months ago
I’ve only experienced quality Spatburgunder with Enderle & Moll, so tasting this Savio Soares import ( in proper Pinot stemware) felt like another revelation. Peppery & fresh, but enough mid weight to accompany a burger & a green gazpacho, & enough layers & acidity to keep it interesting. Gorgeous. — 2 years ago
