Agathe Bursin
Strangenberg Pinot Noir
Alsace, France
Also red cherry up front, but more restrained than the 2017, tannins are better integrated and less drying, fruit is a little riper and lusher, this should easily cellar 3-5 more years, this is a really terrific Alsatian Pinot Noir!!

May 26th, 2026Effusive red cherry initially, followed with some earthy, mineral aromas and flavors, still a bit of tannic structure showing in the long, lingering finish, I’d guess this should be better with another few years of cellaring.

May 26th, 2026Floral, red fruits, still a bit structured and tannic, lovely balance, long, lingering finish, needs further cellaring, should work great with grilled wild Puget Sound salmon!!

Drank over 2 days, nice fruit, spices and pepper notes on the nose and palate, fresh, savoury and medium to light intensity but with fine grained tannins, very nice and a good QPR. 89-90
Bu sur deux jours, du fruit, des épices et du poivre au nez comme en bouche, une bouche assez souple, savoureuse, très fraiche et des tannins aux grains fins d’intensité moyenne, belle découverte. 89-90
