Franken, Germany
Awesome example of Pinot noir. World class in fact. Pretty sure I prefer this over any domestic Pinot these days. Very elegant and pretty wine

Yesterday’s Wednesday Wine Committee, hosted by @Jeff Meyer , was so educational with fantastic German & Austrian wines. 1 sparkler, 5 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert wine. All served blind as usual.
Red of the day. Top producer and it shows. This reminded me of Oregon pinot. Plenty of herbal and earthy notes but a nice balance of fruit too. Underripe blackberries, black cherry, black tea, potpourri, bay leaf and a distinct herbal note (oregano? Thyme?). Tannic but so nicely balanced. I called this Spätburgunder.

I admit I'm normally not a big fan of Pinot (Spätburgunder) from Germany. But Fürst is doing a great job here. Very withdrawn juice which needs some time in the decanter to show up. Sparse & straight without any compromise. Nice acid which shows that this wine can at least last another 5 years.

Germany Pinot Noir Really!!!!!

Oct 24th, 2014Closed, cool, with muted power. Dark berry & cherry. Quite a tannic frame but juicy & polished, not aggressive as Becker’s Kammerberg.
Nice flow & great depth. Juicy acidity. A beautiful Pinot with more power, very classic Fürst style.
