What a wine. Best one get. Dynamite nose of mid to late season red and black cherries. Floral, cocoa dust. Huge stoney minerality. Palate is dazzlingly fresh and so so pure. Amazing texture and sweet fruit with super tiny berry intensity and awesome juiciness. Dazzling wine. So so fresh and flavorful with unreal depth. What a wine. Terrific inner mouth aromas.

Mar 17th, 2020This is 16 despite the label. Awesome nose. Big cherry fruit, some sweet oak, mint, soil tones, and just an amalgam of intense fruit. Really elegant and juicy with lithe silky tannins and such purity. Terrific structure and top notch finesse. Amazing purity and elegance. Long finish and very chewy. I think needs 3-4 years and/or a 3 hour decant. Terrific focus and freshness. Stunning balance. Awesome. Lovely stuff.

Plummy Nose almost like Port. Very dark for a Pinot quite extracted. Dark fruit, blackberry, very dark cherries and plum. Spices; hint of allspice. Graphite. If Enderle & Moll is the Yin this is the Yang of German Pinot. Reminds me of a good Denis Mortet. Really well made. Needs to integrate a little more. Since this is the second very convincing vintage from GOLD I can now recommend this producer. A spectacular wine and serious buy for my cellar in future. Impressive. Great find by Lyle - who needs Burgundy?
