Hölle Spätburgunder

Nose is cranberry, spice and mulberry. So different than what Thorle is doing today. Love this style but also love the newer style. What a winery! Some herbs, some limestone aromas and sour cherry. Very complex. Palate is energetic and to be honest a bit of an herbal streak that I love but others might not. No green from 18 on for this bottling. I am betting it goes away with air. Palate is lush and energetic with terrific purity and depth. Good freshness and depth hut seems thing compared to what they are doing now. Sour and early season cherry fruit and super velvety tannins. Let’s see what happens with air.

The piece de la resistance of the Thörle lineup. Knockout nose that reminds me of high end NSG. Stunning depth and purity. The palate is amazing. So much depth, huge fruit and structure and so much structure. It shows a level of class and finesse that is beyond all the other wines. Also it’s substantially concentrated and the finish just goes on and on. The fruit is insane. Oh man. Thrilling levels. Such an incredible fruit soak this seems like it could be Grand Cru from Côte d’Or. Best Thörle Pinot I’ve had.
