Recis Spätburgunder
Germany
Excellent see previous notes. Franken! No one knows they make Pinot. Franconia. Excellent really. Mellowed out all the way. Orange juice. Cherry undertones. Stunning. Fantastic winery but boy is this off the beaten path. Visited once. They mostly make Silvaner. So this is the oddball.

Apr 17th, 2024Unlikely that anyone on Delectable has had this wine. Jancis Robinson ranked this high so i did drive to the winery many years ago boy is this remote. Pinot Noir from Franken is essentially unheard of. Spice, earth, dark fruit, lime. Lost some fruit! Drink up it is my last bottle and it was better years ago. I did see the soil - flat out limestone - like on the best sites in Burgundy. Anyways I would say drink up. Crew Cap! 13.5%.

Sep 3rd, 2023Not imported. Suitcase import. Indistinguishable from a Burgundy! Really dark cherry - pomegranate - earthy - orange zest. Grows on limestone. From Franken an off the beaten path region. A shame that this is not imported. Will go 10 more years. Screw-cap. Why buy Burgundy if you can have this at a fraction of the price!

Feb 17th, 2019It pains me that I can not share these German Pinots with my American friends😭😭😭😭😵😪😪😪. Really nice. Close to the 2008 I reviewed yesterday. Black currents and blackberries. Cherry and YERY powerfully elderberry characteristics another winner from this off the beating path winery. Really very aromatic and unique this would blows your socks off! 30 Euros.

May 15th, 2016Christoph thinks this one is toll. This wine has real class highly rated by Jancis Robinson in 2013 with 17.5 points. Asleep when opened smokey flavor which blows off. Then dark berries on the nose root bear on the nose 😏 which vanishes. Cherry in the glass this wine can run with the best burgundies! Tea leaves, slightly bitter, persistent and long. Good now but has some more time left. This will end up in my blind tasting Burgundy versus Germany. A stunner most will take this for a Gevrey. The nose might give it away. I saw the soil pure limestone.
