  • Zwischen Ende 2010 und Anfang 2012 konnte ich beim Düsseldorfer Händler etwa ein Dutzend Flaschen des Jahrgangs 2007 für circa 13 Euro pro Flasche erwerben. Dies dürfte die letzten Flasche gewesen sein. Vermutlich lagerte sie immer in Dormagen. Sehr reif. Auch in der Farbe. Wirkte beinahe süßlich. Gefiel Ingrid und mir. Um 89 bis 90. Austrinken! 2010 bis 2022 zu trinken.

  • Elegant, so elegant. Strawberries and raspberries, oak, chocolate?

  • The winner of a tasting with 7 PN from all around the world.
    A gigantic nose with lots of mud and some burned tones. The fruit was well hidden.
    The mouth feel was really interesting. First soft, then a long tense taste with a nicely bitter finish. Concentrated taste and vibrating tannines.
    The mouth feel took it to the top but I could wish for more fruit and less mud. This wine is gigantic and very well made. With a more charming nose this wine could become one of my favourites... 92-93 p.

    (Weingut Meyer-Näkel Spätburgunder S) Pale ruby color with hints of garnet. Intense, brambly fruit notes are followed on the nose by baking spices, iris, and violets. Aromas of black-cherry soda, sweet-tea leaf, and green tobacco leaf are supported by the rich, creamy texture, with reductive, leesy notes adding complexity. The palate is electric in its balance: full-bodied and flavorful, revealing ripe currants, wet earth, and slightly lactic notes on the finish. A bit of greenness helps keep the wine lively on the palate, but obvious wood tannins linger. Special Report: The Ahr and the Emergence of German Reds
