Community Tasting Note

fhayek Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 13, 2016 - Bit confused by the many Becker pinot noirs / spätburgunders but certainly it is (one of) their base pinot noirs and certainly it is quite incredible for a base wine.

Experienced wine drinkers know that feeling when it's clear the master has lifted only half the weight he actually can but has done so in a manner and with an elegance which elevates him instantly above the rest who lifted the same, or even higher weights. In fact I tasted this along with other producers' higher placed pinot noirs which all had 'more' to show here and there (including price), and yet this was the best.

Great, classical pinot noir scent. In the mouth, terrific balance - this is impeccable stuff, has body and content while having zest and remaining fresh and well drinkable as well. Carved of one piece of rock.
Great dynamics there.
Good stuff.
88p.

- and BTW quite unbelievable QPR at 10 or 11 EUR, I'm gonna invest in a good number of bottles.

- and makes me very curious on this winemaker's more expensive wines. Perfect base wine, then.
