Almost completely opaque black-red colour. Concentrated aroma of dark forest berries, strongly characterised by distinctive but subtle roasted aromas. A dense, full-bodied wine with a style more akin to a refined, classic German Pinot Noir than a cool, modern Pinot Noir. Nevertheless, a clear development in the right direction compared to earlier years. The use of wood appears more restrained and delicate than was usual here in earlier years, the sandy and crumbly tannins emphasise more than they cover, the acidity is sufficiently prominent to prevent the wine from appearing broad or even rustic. Nevertheless, I could imagine a little more finesse and elegance here. Very good to excellent length.

reduction

Tasted on 16 January 2021 by Werner Elflein

Garnet red with medium transparency. Bouquet overlaid with clear reduction notes with aromas of dark wild strawberries, especially blueberries. Difficult to judge on the tongue, but obviously comes from good basic material. Fine roasted aromas, stable acidity, velvety to coarse-grained, well polymerised tannins. Very long and persistent. Unfortunately, even treatment in the Ovarius decanter cannot resolve the reduction problem.

Transparent garnet red. Spicy, ethereal scent of sour cherry and blueberry with roast flavours. On the tongue with fine and velvety, predominantly coarse-grained and chocolaty tannins. Herb spicy and elegant, quite pronounced, but well integrated acidity. Outstanding length. Requires Ovarius decanter.

Tasted on 12 April 2016 by Werner Elflein

Dark, slightly transparent, cloudy cherry red colour. Slightly liquoricey on the nose at first, with increasing vegetal components with air. Fruity opulence, alternating between cherry and lighter red berries. Delicate hints of chocolate and a spicy note. On the palate, it is quite corpulent, but still has the elegance typical of Pinot. Sweetish fruit, fine acidity, partly velvety, partly sandy tannins with a subtle bitterness. Very good length, decent depth. Well matured overall, still has reserves for a good three to five years.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
