August 1, 2022 - Red to brownish colour, low intensity. In the middle of the maturity window. Compost dominating the nose. On the palate a tiny sweetness but dry, high(-) acidity, low in (rounded) tannins, medium body, 13%. Fruty, mature berries. Decent length. Easy to like. Enjoy now.
Cuvée of pinot noir on lime soil around Schweigen in Südpfalz. Matured 16 months in small barrels of palatine oak. -

December 5, 2020 - Developed nose with coffee, dark chocolate, toasted oak and mature red fruit, strawberries. On the palate a tiny sweetness, high acidity, medium level, square tannins, medium body. Good length but dominated by oak and bit too much cream caramel and nougat.

January 29, 2020 - Intense aromas, but the fruit feels slightly dull and the acidity is a bit sharp. I tasted this wine young and all the primary dark berry aromas are gone. Maybe waited a bit too long. Still quite a pleasure to drink, but I think this has seen better days...

October 20, 2017 - Burgundy Tasting (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Glass: Schott Zwiesel Burgundy / Riedel Vinum Burgundy
PnP. Surely a German Pinot has always a hard stand against top Burgundies, but it performed quite well. Nose driven by some animal notes a bit reductive. On the palate good pressure, cool red fruit, good spicyness, high, well integrated acidity. Has a long life ahead. 90-91 -
