Centgrafenberg Frühburgunder "J" Trocken 2013

Expressive, elegant, complete. Overused adjectives but no way around them today.

Visually pretty. Glowing reds and browns of raspberry balsamic and soy sauce. Perfumes like shrapnel of strawberry preserves and cherry flesh, skins and all. Firm, plush, bite, and acid.

Tension and balance in an even give and take. Just awesome.

@Ely Cohn My pleasure. These age so well and this still has a lot of life and development in it. Walter is magic.

Neefer Frauenberg Trocken Riesling 2011

Last bottle from my trip to the Mosel a couple of years back. This wine from a bend in the river near Neef, fragrant with the smell of fruit tree flowers and tastes of apricot and grapefruit, delightful. Tempted to go back to buy some more. — 7 years ago

Hundsrück Trocken Spätburgunder ,,J" 2014

Nose: Deep. Sexy. Almost a cherry liquor.

Palate: dense but elegant. Silky. Delicious. Perfect cherries.

@delectable this is the Centgrafenberg “J” - what a nose. Complex secondary aromas of earth, leather, smoke and game. Under that is ripe mid season cherries. Palate is ripe and super refined wirh lovely purity and freshness and suave ripe tannins. In a great place of total harmony. Will improve wirh air i‘m sure but this is one of the few Walter Pinots that is almost mature or starting to. — 4 years ago

9.0

Very exiting nose. Confectionery sugars, greens that are sweet, fiddlehead ferns, sugar snap peas, mineral and airy. Even a hint of saline. Palate is elegant, linear and focused. Juicy and clean. A bit simple. Nice but the J bottling of this is really a big step up. Nice length. Good. — 3 years ago

Anthony took us to the tasting room in their Cellar to taste the Hamilton Russell line of wines.

This is why you come down to this region, the Pinot Noirs. They are Burgundian in style. Nice red and blue fruits with very gentle wood use and about 13% ABV. Quite enjoyable.

Photos of; the Hamilton Russell Vineyard, a bronze statue of Anthony’s father wearing Anthony’s hat. It was his father who founded Russell Hamilton back in 1975. He was also CEO of one of the largest US advertising agencies, JWT or J. Walter Thompson. Our tasting setup in the cellar and a long view of their property and house on the hilltop.
