Domaine Marcel Deiss
La Colline Brûlée Burlenberg Alsace Pinot Noir
Green bean and cranberry. Wanted to love this wine. Herbal, grainy, nervy. Mostly things I don’t look for in Pinot.

This wine needs time in decanter. Slightly (and pleasantly) oxidized. Very traditionally crafted... there's a lightness to the texture and savory earthy character. No powerhouse Pinot. Not for the Kosta Browne lovers. My type of PN.

Volatile acidity, Brett and earth abound on the nose. This is a backward & austere wine. After decanting 45 min. still seems closed. Tons of iron, dried tobacco and salted beef on the finish. Disjointed.

Mar 19th, 2016Dark concentration of dark fruits; blackberry, black raspberry, black plum, black cherry, blueberry. An array of spices; nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, black and red licorice, sage, forest floor. For me, it's only flaw, an extra dry finish.

Apr 29th, 2015Savory and earthy. Not as focused or as pure as anticipated.

Apr 5th, 2015Gorgeous nose. Palate in a dried roses cranberry space. Gives the impression of a long future ahead.

Apr 1st, 2015Not great. Sometimes you buy things while visiting a region that just don’t live up. This is very barn-y on the nose but the real issue is how green and astringent this is. Perhaps picked underripe or just the year.

Aug 11th, 2023From 375 mL. A ripe, rich wine. Tart cherry with earth and somewhat burly. Needs a 2 hour decant. Delicious.

Mar 29th, 2023Le Cornas du pinot noir ( bon même si c est de la complantation 😁)
Nez effectivement de brûlé à l ouverture puis on bascule sur des fruits rouges murs type cerise burlat , les tanins ont encore besoin de se fondre
