Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2012
World class. Fully mature. Cork in perfect condition. Brown tinged. This is how burghs used to taste before they were fine tuned for the rich and famous. I had difficulties with the 2011’s. But this B. and also the M. are perfect. Light and elegant, Bergamot, lime, cranberry, red currant, faintest hint of bitterness. — 7 days ago

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2011
Another suitcase import. Upon popping comes across as disjointed. Big time BandAid. It takes 24 hours to come alive! Touch oxidized, heavy and big. Iodine, still some bandaid. I am not fully convinced. Will pop the remaining 2011‘s of the E&M big boys. At this point I would say drink check them out and drink up! — 20 days ago

Mes Cinq Terroirs Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2021
188$. I love the wine maker and have back vintages. But I am at the point that I am done with red burghs - they are just insanely overpriced. This used to be in the 60‘s. Yes cherry some earth. And perhaps mushrooms. But boy at this price i just can’t recommend this wine over Oregon or especially German Pinots at 50% or more discount. Gained complexity (tea notes & spice) after 2 days on Argon so I increased rating to 9.3. Still the price ……. — 2 days ago

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2010
Drinking away history as the winery is selling the current 2023 inventory this is it! This 2010 was a suitcase import after a visit at the winery. Brown tinge, still plenty of tannins. Cork in perfect condition. 12.5%. Closed for about 30 min. Then like Burghs used to be 30 years ago. On the rough side. Raw power!
Dark very ! dark cherry, touch port wine, some oxidation after 16 years. Cedar, black olives, orange zest, chalk, boy is this still tannic. Falls off after 2h’s. — 22 days ago

Muschelkalk Pinot Noir 2012
Perfect. I am not into high ratings or superlatives. But this is it. Powerful and ridiculous dense fruit. Elderflower mostly!!!! red and black currant. Can run another 2-3 years but wouldn’t risk it at this stage. My 2012’s were suitcase imports it was a time when the winery considered to stop importing to the US. I convinced them otherwise. One of the very few wines which still tickles my palate in ways other wines - just don’t! Often they just made one barrel 300 bottles. — 7 days ago

'Basis' Pinot Noir 2023
This time around I get Raspberry galore. Tons of fruit. The classic black forest thyme, lime and tannins. Quite spectacular. Drink now - what a trip. Last vintage - Florian folded the winery and is selling his inventory! A Unicorn is gone! Sad 😢. 12%. — 24 days ago

This was highly rated (I think in the wine spectator) and for about 36$ why not grab some. A little rough around the edges. Clearly top shelf oak was not used for this. Cherry,….but this is honest and feels like it has a sense op place. Rated this before at this stage less impressive compared to when it was younger. — a day ago
