| Community Tasting Notes (average 80.5 pts. and median of 80 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Weinberg Falls on 8/9/2021 & rated 87 points: "O, Welch ein Augenblick!" special label. This seems to be a specially labelled 2011 vintage Krone Spätburgunder for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven. All a bit strange, presumably a lot of the events were cancelled which is why this was found heavily discounted. Lovely nose of wild strawberry, smoke and rose petal. Light, even thin, palate of red cherry and hibiscus with high acidity and a finish of violet and spice. Not bad but nothing special.

Beautifully luminous, very translucent and quite intense pale ruby red color. Open, characterful and sweetish - even slightly weird - nose with aromas of very candied raspberry-driven fruit, some notes of damp forest, a little bit of medicinal herbs, light cherry marmalade tones, a hint of ripe damson and a touch of something slightly artificial and perhaps aseptic. The dry taste follows the nose with the flavors of almost artificial raspberry candy tones, some wizened black cherries, light notes of medicinal herbs, a little bit of overripe damson, a hint of marmaladey sweetness and a touch of forest floor. Medium to moderately full body. The mouthfeel is silky and quite soft with the medium acidity and almost nonexistent tannins. The acidity feels a bit more pronounced at the tip of the tongue, lending some freshness to the wine, but not really contributing anything to the structure. The finish is dry, a bit more firm and subtly grippy with rather weird and soft flavors of candied raspberries, some artificial fruit notes, some sour cherry bitterness, light medicinal herb tones and a hint of oxidative nuttiness.
A weird Spätburgunder with a somewhat candied and slightly artificial feel to its flavors. In addition to the slightly odd flavors, the overall feel is quite soft and somewhat flat, which only adds to the unpleasantness of the wine. It doesn't feel like the bottle is faulty - this wine is just somewhat odd. However, I'm not sure if the wine is supposed to be like this, or if it has just evolved into a very weird direction. Nevertheless, even without all the weird candied flavors, the wine doesn't feel structurally particularly convincing. All in all, a rather mediocre and uninspiring effort. (836 views) |
