Another solid vintage of Ziereisen’s Entry Level Baden Spatburgunder. Dark garnet color with a ruby core. Fragrant aromas of red cherry/berry fruit, forest floor and a hint of smoke. Flavors of sour cherry, unripe strawberry and pomegranate fruit with additional hints of dried herbs, savory spices and minerals. Long lasting earthy finish and extremely smooth tannins. Medium bodied with a very smooth texture and a bit of tension. Rustic but quite elegant at the same time. Excellent quality for a reasonable price. — a month ago
Glorious nose of spice, deep late season cherry fruit. licorice, cherry flower and more. So deep and layered. Palate is just stunning. Tannic and juicy with such depth. So concentrated and structured. Just world class stuff here. Really ethereal and also super serious. — 5 months ago
Yowza! Nose is pitted fruits like peach, nectarine and also some pink grapefruit flesh but wow that color. True Pinot Gris. Floral, pancakes, hint of honey and so complete. Miraculous nose. Palate is just insane. Juicy and elegant like I cannot tell you elegant this wine is. So pure, like rainwater in Iceland flowing off a glacier. Palate is sapid and so dense but this thing just floats. Unreal spirits and crazy tannic structure on the endless finish. Yikes!! Wow the nose has a brown sugar thing now and it’s just a freak show. Unreal finesse. Wow. After a few hours this has just gotten elite. 9.8 may be too low! — a month ago

This is backwards out of the gates but it’s all there. Huge density, power and concentration while remaining fresh and incisive. Needs an hour and I will be back. Needed way more than an hour. Still on day 2 this is dense and sinewy. Really structured but so fresh. Acts like high end Crozes or baby Hermitage. On day 3 this has finally come around! Like the 18 and 15! Unreal aromas and so expansive. Sweet, dense and long 9.4 to 9.5. But it was like pushing a boulder up a cliff. — 4 months ago

German Syrah from Ziereisen so good. What the f. Why did I just buy 3 bottles? Scott will try the second one with you. Ultra elegant. 12.5%. Blueberry, cherry and spice? Amazing as this opens up. Next time might get a case. — 3 days ago
