En-magnum and opened for my baby boy’s first birthday, this Becker was a hit with the crowd. I thought it could have been better though. Frankly, this had a little more petrol note than I’d like, but it still showed excellent energy. Earthy, salty, powerful, and laser-sharp. Hope to try a better sample down the line. — 6 months ago

Was looking for a Pinot with a bit more structure and opened up this - man, this has evolved beautifully over the last 2y! Showing such finesse & elegance right now, the tannins so fine & smooth and the fruit shining. This is really a beauty to open up now.
Red berries with undergrowth, some tree bark, a hint of exotic spice & orange zest, maybe a whiff of dark cherry. So fresh, so juicy, so enticing!!
On the palate this sings! Impeccably balanced, with great depth & elegance.
Wow. This is quite profound and a stunner!

2nd time through this bottling: the nose deserves special mention as it really lands the day before touching glass to lips, it’s that fragrant & potent: lemon curd, white blossoms, endive, but special ly made by some wacky German cousin of Willie Wonka. Little did I know that Roter Traminer is a kissing cousin of Gewurtztraminer ( if I followed the lineage properly) so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. On palate the fragrance notes are there, but neither shrill nor imbalanced, with a medium styled body & a slight viscosity I like. For some reason could imagine mushroom dishes pairing beautifully. — 3 days ago
