vintage 2019 | Such a solid and beautiful pinot noir, especially with 6-8 cellar years. My wife said three times: my gosh, this is delicious. Paired with a steak, shimesji mushrooms, parsnip frites and a salad. Loads of red fruit, esp raspberries. Vibrant taste. Crucial to pick the largest glasses. — 4 months ago

Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2016 | when I bought this in Germany, I asked how long it would last. The Ahr is not known for Riesling, do not keep it too long, was the answer. Wrong answer, imo. This wine is now delicious with awesome sweet/acidity balance. Great! — 2 years ago

My first Spätburgunder. So I'm comparing to the Pinot-I-Know.
On the wonderful nose I get more raspberry than cherry. Slightly floral, but a wild floral and a touch of leather. Really great, unique.
Powerful flavor, not what I expected! The acid hits right away but immediately after you get the raspberry on your tongue that your nose was promising. Rich deep texture, again not what I was expecting from a cold weather pinot noir. Thick, earthy texture, clearly unfiltered. Enjoying the long finish where you can appreciate their use of oak- it really melds so well with the fruit- again think of eating the first ripe raspberries of early summer. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2015 / This is a very adequate Sunday morning bubble to pair with my scrambled eggs. True to type #riesling vibrancy. Lovely #sekt from the tiny #Ahr district. — 8 years ago

Produced by the world's oldest wine cooperative. Late harvest mild Pinot Noir from the Ahr region of Germany. Noticeable residual suger, though with a balancing acidity and notes of cherry, raisin and eucalyptus. — 9 years ago

Frühburgunder IS genetically a mutation of Pinot Noir (despite what they teach in Germany). — 12 years ago
