Alsace Pinot Noir 2023

Murky garnet color with a dark ruby core. Aromas of red and black cherries and bramble fruit, forest floor and smoke. Flavors of blackberry, sour cherries, cranberries, savory spices and wet soil. Long and lingering finish and well balanced acidity. Well crafted. Interesting Alsatian expression of the varietal. — 12 days ago

Wat een ellende. Was een zeer Bourgondische wijn.

Grand Cru Brand Granite Alsace Riesling 2020

I opened this last night but it was too closed (for me) to evaluate. 24 hours later it’s a bit more forthcoming, with the nose showing super-fresh apple and orchard fruit, beautifully pure slatey minerality (yes I know it’s not grown on slate), and a faint honeysuckle note. Bone dry, it’s very minerally and crisp in the mouth. Good acids and a medium-long finish. 9.2 now. Maybe higher in a few years. — 4 years ago

Strikingly fragrant nose and intense palate. Juicy palate that finishes bone dry, stony and lengthy. Crunchy tart apple and citrus. Stand out amongst six Grand Crus from the same vintage and producer. — 6 years ago

Schiste Kastelberg Riesling 2019

A typical Alsatian nose, with a summer meadow in full bloom, orchard apples, a touch of peach. There’s also a rocky, mineral saline whiff.
On the palate this remains focused, linear and pure. There’s round fruity richness yet there’s also great tension & energy, too. Beautifully balanced and lip smacking delicious!

Volcanique Rangen Riesling

Fascinating riesling. Fragrant floral nose, citrus blossom or jasmine. Intense palate that erupts, full of mineral and spice, then softens at the end. — 6 years ago
