A little basic, but what are you going to do? Some nice dark fruits that took some time to open up.

Needed a least half an hour to open up. At the end of the dinner it still wasn't done unfolding, but at least already showed a more lovable side. Luckily there is half a bottle left so I can give it a re-check.

Juicy earthy wild cherries. Great with roast chicken. Plot twist!

Ostertag, always fun and interesting; the wine is surprisingly dark and intense for Alsace Pinot.

Pinot Noir, interesting, useful? Yes. Ripe? Not so much.

Needed some time to open up and let its earthy, manure feel soften. Red fruits and mushroom came out, kept developing with drinking. Delicious

Aromas of dried plum, port, drier fruit, liquorice. Tastes completely different - tart cherries, high on acid.
