Spätburgunder

All powdered stones at first, but with air, floral, sappy cherry comes out, with a sweet spice note. Light in weight but with good intensity, it’s a leaner styled Pinot, with bright mineral-tinged flavors and nice acidity. Great with simple roast chicken.

Glorious showing. As this ages if reminds me more and more of Möbitz. Gorgeous nose of crushed berries, spices, raspberry cake, mineral, limestone, sour cherry. Just dizzying. What a nose. So delicate and transparent. Palate is pitch perfect Red Riesling. So juicy and transparent with wonderful freshness and purity. Sour cherry, red berry, red cherry fruit. Terrific inner mouth aromas. So complex and juicy with just unreal energy and freshness. Amazingly linear and just straight as an arrow. Outrageous value. Terrific sweetness of fruit but just so perfectly judged.

Best Spatburgunder I’ve ever had. Period. Wow.

Super high toned. The first cherries of the season, some raspberry, spice, slight iron. It walks around like a boy trying not to step on the cracks. It would be green if it weren’t super red. It’s like listening to some super tense modal jazz-folk act, the best of pentangle doing their soul thing. This is what vin de soif wishes it could be on its birthday. Some cayenne pepper and mace and confectioners sugar on the finish. It grows in density in the glass but never really sits down. Very alive. Everything is easy and promising like when you meet a person you think will be a new friend. Delicious.

From Lyle Fass Selections. Quite sweet Pinot Fruit Ready to drink. Initially not that interesting. After left to air for 24 hours. Ripe cherries 🍒 the wine has mellowed out. No oxidation. Reminds me of a great Oregon Pinot. Hint of Orange blossoms. Spicy. Plum. 2015 was a warm vintage. A world class Wine.
