Weingut Schwarz (Johann Hans Schwarz)
The Butcher Burgenland Pinot Noir

A little disjointed compared to the -18 vintage, might come into place with a year or two of rest.

Nov 7th, 2020This ex-buthcher-turned-winemaker makes a great austrian PN; cold climate style but more German than French; lots of mineral notes, chlorine, strawberries, raspberries, dark choclate, light earth, and a bit of wood; fruits, acids, and soft tannins mix well on the palate and the finish is medium long and satisfying.

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.
This is so fruit forward up front before it falls off a cliff and punches you with chalky tannins. Geez. It’s both floral and lean. Starts off with fresh squeezed black cherries, rhubarb tart and rose petal before drastically hitting you with high percentage dark cocoa, bitter root, and cracked black peppercorn. Tannic. I called this Blaufränkisch.
@Bill Bender : Saw your post from 4yrs ago about this wine. Agreed!

Monthly WTF wine group meet up. Theme was “bring something good”. All wines (minus the bubbles and SB) were tasted blind.
Posting my note below as I had this wine about two weeks ago and notes are consistent. I was torn between Blaufränkisch or Spätburgunder. Thanks @Jeff Meyer .

Very Burgundian with a serial killer label. Be careful.

NOSE: spicy and vinegar-y. Some beet. Hmmm…
TASTE: dry, medium weight, inoffensive red-cherry wine. 89.

Tastes like a funky Pinot Noir. Very good to drink on its own. Bought at BP

Lätt men smakrikt, god smak, dock ingen eftersmak
