Light ruby color. After leaving open overnight, nose is quite pronounced sharp dark cherry and classic Pinot Noir "forest floor". The cherry really dominates the flavor, along with some savory, vegetable flavors (asparagus/bell pepper). Acid and tannin are both M+, as is the finish. I expect this will will be great after 5-10 years of development.

A private lunch (Restaurant Hofgarten, Dernau, Germany): Beautiful Pinot Noir expression, light and elegant but poised, hint of earth from the löss-loam soils, has line and length, gentle tannins, flowers and crushed red berries dance across the palate, high-quality oak is just noticeable on the finish. Really lovely already with delicate food, should reach its peak around 2023 and last for a 5-10 years after that on its impeccable balance.
