Hans-Bert Espe Und Silke Wolf Baden Spätburgunder
Baden, Germany
Great German spätburgunder nose, cherry, smoked ham and some stony minerality, medium body, again cherry and minerality, rather short and fresh finish, very refreshing red, you must like those kind of reduced red wines

1 person found it helpfulMar 1st, 2022Need a bit air to open up and show the fresh, cool sour black cherries backed by some mossy, mushroomy undergrowth.
On the palate this is quite dense (for a Spätburgunder) with a savory side to it, a nice firm tannic grip and the fruit in the background. There’s some meaty aromas, a bit of mushroom soup, beef stock, herbs.
This is def. a food wine, lacking the etheric charm for solo sipping but paired with food - delicious.
Great value, too.

Under stelvin so bit tight on opening but with some air it has a great nose full of red peppercorn, Smokey red cherry, rose hips and slightly musky spice.
Palate is a little more straight forward but has a lovely freshness and plenty of lively red fruit. Again that slightly smoky cherry, red current and cranberry, not especially long on the finish but there are some nice berry bitters and touch of spice. Good value for money.

Beautiful nose of crunchy fruit, herbs, spices and smokey minerality; light bodied, smooth structure, fruit forward. Decent finish.

Blueberries, cherries with a slight smokiness on the nose. Garnet color. Medium acidity, well balanced and a clean finish.

good example of what a German, Baden area, Pinot Noir can be. Spatburgunder in German labeling
Light, delicate, aromatic, somewhat more sour cherry and rhubarb than you might expect but still a win.
