Barrel sample. An elegant and light Pinot Noir, quite structured for its weight and the oak clearly needs time to integrate. I will give it the benefit of the doubt.
Barrel sample. From white chalk and with more finesse than the -RR- that preceded it. Hint of spontaneous fermentation on the nose, very elegant and precise, wonderful acidity, mineral.
Barrel sample. Deeper and weightier than the Kirchspiel but still very elegant, hint of spontaneous fermentation, lovely intensity, tigtly wound, spicier and not as forward in the fruit as the Kirchspiel.
Like the Kabinett -P- very reduced on the nose, delicately sweet, very elegant and vibrant, firm core, filigree. Destined for the VDP auction in Bad Kreuznach.
Softer and fruitier than the Pettenthal Beerenauslese that preceded it, more open, very attractive but without the same intensity or energy, beautiful balance, seamless, very clean and pure.
Like a hypothetical cross between the electric energy of the Pettenthal Beerenauslese and the weight and richness of the Morstein Beerenauslese Goldkapsel. Displays the magical balance which this vineyard is capable of, both in sweet and in dry wines.

A blend of Spätburgunder, Frühburgunder and Dornfelder. Deliciously creamy, light, elegant, soft ripe fruit, really singing.

From a parcel of red chalk in the Kirchspiel vineyard. Intense, very pure fruit, roundedd off beautifully, chalk and iron minerality.

Bottled very recently. Difficult to assess, very reduced on the nose, sulphur; style and linearity are evident, delicately sweet, floral and dancing.

Very tightly wound, almost seems dry, has the focus, balance, acidity and energy for a very long career but definitely needs time.

Obviously richer and with more weight than the "standard" Auslese that preceded it, but without its focus and cut.
