Day one this was very over-extracted. The nose was very woody. Served chilled on day two however, this wine has blossomed. Nose of rich black cherry and cassis, just a gentle undertone of Vanilla. Sweet red fruit on the palate - what feels like strawberry coulis. Lovely lingering chocolate finish. Not the most elegant or mineral pinot, but hit the spot on a hot summer's evening.

Starts of sharp around the edges but after some time to breath it shows true side with spices, dark cherries coming through but wood related flavors shows more at this stage. Quite focused, velvety and while not depth of layers now this is a very good wine. Long lingering finish.

Youthful, generous Pinot nose. Lovely spice. Vanilla oak, strawberry, ginger and cinnamon. A bit perfume. Generous fruit. Medium body. Good balance with tannic spine. Not over-oaked. Velvet, violets, perfume, but not very complex or deep. Reminds me of a Volnay. Very good.

Überraschend guter, schmackiger und unterhaltsamer Spätburgunder mit schöner Reife aus Ellerstadt.

On the boring side, dull fruit and dusty. A well made wine but lacking energy. Perhaps beyond its peak.
