Weisstorkel Blauburgunder

Gorgeous, elegant and stunning herbs, what a nose, high toned, unreal fruit, 100% burgundy clone. sweet, dense, rich, ripe, very impressed, richer and deeper and more acid and structured. Deeper cut and higher acids. Wonderful purity. Top stuff.

Thanks! The color is so light and transparent. Really wonderful and the nose smells like Priere Roche or something of that ilk. Wood shavings but from a fresh cut 2x4 in woodshop. Gorgeous light cherries. Licorice and cherry flower. Just so crazy. So unique. Special. So much spice. An ungodly amount. Palate is so elegant and just bursting with red fruits that get to every nook and cranny of the palate but it’s holding back. Superb freshness and concentration and this so nimble but has insane amounts of energy. Clings to the palate. Nose with air starts to integrate the florals and the spices. Cranberry bog now. Wet earth and a scene from a forest. Man is this juicy and so fresh. Stunning depth and structure and cherry skin fruit. Really great wine and but also tightly wound. Needs air and I will be back. Opening more and the tannins are just amazing. Substantial but also so so wispy. Nose is much more subdued with air. A mellow but pretty and precise perfume develops. Palate is so tangy and delicious. Long.

Piquant. Blackberry and tamarind, orange rind. Some baking spice. Quite good.

Nose is lightly floral on open.

Palate is early season cherry.

Needs a 24 hour decant to be ready to drink now. Then, it’s gorgeous. So elegant. Balanced. Beautiful wine.
