Lovely Spatburgunder with a little age on it. Forest floor on the nose, cherry and umami notes / soy sauce on the palate. Fine integrated tannins. Fresh acidity. — 3 years ago

I’m not quite as effusive as @Lyle Fass but this was indeed gorgeous - step above their straight Spatburgunder w/tons of personality. I was really taken w/perfumed nose and earth driven elements. Yeah there’s gobs of decadent cherry, raspberry & strawberry, but the brambly herbal spice elements are downright sexy. It’s all about complexity & generosity not to mention balance & elegance. — a year ago

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.
This is really fine. — 3 years ago

The nose on this wine is magnificent, so beautifully funky and barnyardy, in the best of ways. On the palate, a true German Spatburgunder, lighter in color and mouth feel than a Burgundian Pinot Noir. I’m sure this will only get better with time. — 8 months 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. — 3 years ago
