Pfalz Spätburgunder 2020

Rotten eggs on the nose. Once this blows off this turns out to be an excellent and interesting Burgh like Pinot for less money. Terrific aromatics. Cherry, earth, touch crushed marble, hint meyer lemon, some spice, just a hint of all-spice.Only 12.5% yeah! — 9 months ago

Das Kleine Kreuz Pfalz Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Very Bordeaux in style, cassis, dark plums and black currant, a whiff of cedar wood. An earthy note, too. A touch of blackberry jam.
On the palate this remains fresh with zippy acidity, crunchy dark fruit, a nice tannic frame. The wood perfectly integrated, the finish fresh, juicy. This is delicious, year in, year out.

Bordeaux from Germany there you have it. Global warming at its finest.

Steinacker Spätburgunder 2015

Wonderful umami on the nose (is that even a thing?!) of mushroom and forest floor. On the palate much brighter and lighter, with cherry and vibrant acidity. Light to medium bodied. — 4 years ago

Spätburgunder Kallstadter Saumagen Grosses Gewächs 2017

Cool, fresh, with great depth. Cool, dark fruit, a herby edge, a whiff of tree bark. So enticing.
Cool & fresh on the palate, amazing flow! Perfectly polished & integrated, fine tannins, juicy acidity, black cherry & dark plum, a hint of Mandarine peel freshness, a herby edge. Amazing flow! So juicy, so fresh, so clean.
What a beautiful wine

Pfalz Syrah 2019

Not something you’d see everyday - a Pfalz Syrah! Honestly it was a little boring after the Jamet. Good fruit purity and lovely spice. but lack’s the multi-faceted nature of the Jamet. A touch warm in the finish. — 2 years ago
