PINOTNOIR-TASTING#5
Tuiled dress, expressive nose. Slightly oxidized, nuts. evolved character, mushrooms, strawberry and spice notes. Fine and airy mouth of a beautiful intensity. Advanced notes and declining freshness suggest that this wine is at the end of its peak. A beautiful jewel to drink now.
Robe tuilée, nez expressif. Légèrement oxydé, noix. caractère évolué, champignons, notes de fraise et d’épice. Bouche fine et aerienne d’une belle intensité. Des notes évoluées et la fraîcheur déclinante suggèrent que ce vin est sur la fin de son apogée. Un beau bijoux à boire maintenant. — 2 years ago
Riesling from the Hengst grand cru in Wintzenheim, about 5 miles west of Colmar. Biodynamically farmed vineyards. Lean, precise, elegant with citrus, flowers and hints of rubber on the nose. On the palate there is some grapefruit. Powerful, dry, mineral. Nice saline aftertaste. — 3 years ago

Riesling from the Frohnenberg lieu dit, in Herrlisheim (south of Eguisheim). Vines are 50+ years old and rooted in limestone soils. Farmed biodynamically. Citrus and some herbal notes. Very dry, fresh, vibrant, quite elegant. Amazing value.

Impressive Pinot Noir from a plot in the Hengst Grand Cru in Wintzenheim (Alsace appellation rules don’t permit Pinot Noir here, so it can’t be labeled as Grand Cru). Delicate, Burgundian nose, red fruit, some spices. Light, balanced, elegant, good acidity. Delicious. Positively impressed by all the wines I’ve had from this domaine. — a year ago
Aromatic and floral nose. Round, lively, balanced sweetness

Fantastic Riesling from their oldest vines in the Frohnenberg lieu-dit in Herrlisheim (south of Eguisheim). Loamy-limestone terroir. Farmed biodynamically. Lively, vibrant. Aromas of white fruit, candied lemon, grass, mineral. Great texture. Good length. Excellent value — a year ago
