Monthly Tasting Group EEE #056: Germany red without Spätburgunder

We all had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought. All wines were poured fully blind, also not knowing when your own wine was poured.

• 2014 Zimmermann-Graeff Dornfelder im Barrique gereift trocken 78 Points

  Germany, Pfalz

  In the bouquet cherries, raspberries, yoghurt, herbs and some licorice. On the palate the same. Very mild acidity, a touch of sweetness and some bitterness. Overall a wine without any character, but not faulty either. For me that means a score of 78 in this case.

• 2012 Prinz zur Lippe Friederike trocken 83 Points

  Germany, Sachsen

  In the bouquet red berries, and candy flavors. On the palate cherry yoghurt, candy flavors, a firm amount of ok acidity. Overall a friendly wine without real complexity and luxury. I understood that “Friederike” is a blend between Dornfelder and Spätburgunder.
