A rather elegant and feminin Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Nose develops with air but lacks intensity for a higher rating: classical red fruit nose with some strawberry and cherry but also some spices. Good but not very good texture. Medium+ tannins balanced by great acidity. Fruit-driven and elegant taste that lacks length and intensity for a higher rating. A good wine but when taking price into consideration questionable. Drank during 2h so maybe needs more air and or time to mature.

Good, but not verry good. Some mature notes, but also classical riesling aromas: lemon, white fruit. Overall a bit too muted nose. The wine is beautifully lean, mineralic with good acidity but lacks length and depth. No maturity detectable but some slightly green tones (minimal bitterness).

A little bit of air helps. Beautiful nose that is very fruit-driven. It has a certain sweetness that reminds me of a ripe melon, some tropical fruits but also lemon. A touch of matured notes. This is certainly slightly off-dry or has insanely high extract sweetness. But the wine has enough acidity to balance the sweetness. Nice texture. A nice Riesling from the best German producer.
