February 24, 2020 - Needed decanting for sediment. Jammy, slightly metalic nose with a hint of acetate of a warm year. Sweet on the front of the palate with black cherry and plum - with a savoury dusty finish. Acidity was subtle and kept this nicely centred. This is a civilised and rather austere wine that has plenty of time left. Poor QPR, but this kind of wine is as rare as hens teeth in Germany.

June 17, 2015 - Deep ruby with some browning at the meniscus, round and balanced in bouquet and flavor, expressing the SLH terroir, mixed red fruits on the palate, with cinnamon and clove and vanilla, lively acid, medium finish. Charming but perhaps a bit past her prime.

Earthy, funky, rich, tart, cranberry, pomegranate. Very full flavored pinot, but true to the varietal, not showing any cola, cherry or sweetness. Nice wine.

September 19, 2009 - Very well made wine with firm structure and lots of fruit. Still a little heat on the finish that I think will mellow with time. Big dark, red fruit smacks you in the face. Best to try again in a couple of year. Maybe some of the fat on this wine will start to smooth out.
