  Not too convincing, the freshness and lightness of 2014 don't pair that great with the Becker style. I think the lesser vintage shows. Same wine from 2015 is a whole different story.

  Tasted at producer.
  
  In Rechtenbach, directly at curch.
  More loam topsoil, more open.
  
  A bit closed nose.
  Compared to other pinots, this is more focused on dark fruit: plum, dark cherry, some meatiness, spice.
  
  Very dense on palate, high tannins, high acidity.

  This is far to young. Started to open up after 5hrs air. Behind the tannin there is all the quality and structure to transform this into a beauty. Try again in 5-6 years.
