Hölle Spätburgunder

One of the greatest Pinots in Germany. Just a ridiculous wine. Heaven in a nose. Just so high toned. It’s like a sphere. Spice, limestone, so mineral, some fresh herbs, so so so complex. Sour cherry to medium cherry, pomegranate, cherry flower and ripe dark cherry but only a hint. It’s always changing it’s hard to pin down. Amazing fruit definition. Clarity is just amazing. Mint, tree bark, transcendent. Palate is deep and juicy but also not nearly as open as the nose. It’s transcendent. It’s long. It’s complex. It’s got intense and substantial structure. Insane concentration, depth and power. Sappy and mouth coating fruit and tannin and so complex. Amazing, mineral infused tannins. This is such a fucking great wine. It’s young and in 5-6 years will be epic but this is remarkable shit. The tiny berry fruit intensity is something else. Amazing texture. Almost a hint of creaminess. This is just a sphere of Pinot. Just so focused and linear. Amazing finish. Remarkable. So so so long. The echoes of fruit on the finish are endless.

Phenomenal. Family visiting. Bottle didn’t last long enough for notes.

One sniff tells me it’s rarified stuff. Not ready, but the uncommonly detailed Pinot fruit, structure and finish for days tells me it’s gonna be special. A spat that tastes more burgunder than anything.
