Rhini Blauer Spätburgunder

Such a masterful wine at almost 11 years of age. Nose is luscious and deep. Mint and red fruits and dramatic exotic spices. Terrific minerality. Limestone galore. Layered and perfumed. Knockout. Some charcoal as well. Palate is so juicy and energetic giving luscious red cherries that burst with intensity on the explosive finish. Then it cuts a swath of mineral and slowly dissipates. The work of a genius. The sweetness of the fruit and depth of minerality are so intertwined here. Unreal purity. Truly the most amazing Rhini I have ever had.

So stunning out of the gates. Sappy, high toned red cherries. Wet earth. Bright. Super mid season red cherries. Dusty. Floral. So pretty. Palate is juicy but comes out of the bottle slight angular, but wonderful purity and length. Superb precision and focus. Amazing length on the back end and the fruit is just amazing. Wow the angularity goes away after 5 minutes and it gets luscious and the acid is just so on point. Lovely texture and hint of sweetness. This is just stunning. HPZ can do no wrong!

The classicism and energy of 14 has not been repeated since. Maybe 2021?

I love this vintage for Pinot at Ziereisen. Just classic. Like 14 red Burgs. Stunning nose. So deep and refined. Earthy and mineral with lovely delicate cherry fruit. Delicate spices round it out. What a nose. Palate is glorious. Elegant and has a nimble yet serious structure. Needs an hour of air. At least. Balance is extraordinary. Sweet sappy fruit and amazing layering and purity. Ripe, toothsome tannins and amazing freshness. Stunning expression of Pinot. Such depth. Easily will go 10/15 years.

This is the level below the 2 Jaspis bottlings and represents the best value in the lineup of Pinots. Ethereal nose. Red fruited to the max, resinous, earthy, bright cranberry. An earthy perfume. Serious deep aromas. Like how fresh flowers are aromatic. 2014 is flames here. Palate is just terrific. In the Red Riesling school. Nimble yet densely fruited with extraordinary balance and purity. Big structure. Lovely tannins and freshness. Ideally needs an hour to breathe and the fruit to really shine. The fruit is stunning here and so lip-smacking and pure. Super long finish. Superb.

intense fruit, red berries, big ripe nose, red cherries, huge explosive fruit, very masculine and and intense. Lovely freshness and delineation. Great complexity. So clean and so fresh. Amazing finish and a bit closed but man is it all there. Pumps fruit on the finish. Darker cherries. Great acid and length.

Lovely pure fruits. One of Badens treasures!

I could drink this all day. One of my favorite Spätburgunder producers

Wow. So well made. Pure cherry juice on the palate. So fresh. Some minerality. Reminds me of pomnier Bourgogne rouge a bit stylistically. A wine you can drink but so well made you have to appreciate the artistry. Lovely finish. Clingy texturally a bit

I like the nose. Very clean cherry. A hint of cherry licorice.

As@this opens much better Sappier. Really sick fruit. Nose gets a touch of blueberry. More spice

Bought from fass selections.
