Very nice, enjoyed it a lot. In a bit difficult stage, loosing all the primary feeling. But might have to wait another 10 years to really build up the secondary. not shure if it will be better, only different? Dark sweet/sour cherries , broad aiming tannin grip getting finer but definitely strongly present. buy more? yes but probably younger vintages.

Finally this wine is getting around and all strings pulling the same way. Fresh, clear cool Pinot. Not at all a big wine, but intense. and tannins more evolved and integrated. Lovely smell of wild strawberries and slightly humus,wet mold. decent length and In the mouth, velvety and intense with some wooden hints in the background. Drunk with turkey, waldorf and oven baked potatoes

Second slightly disappointing Knoll Smaragd wine, the other a Riesling from the same year. Either a bit to hot storage, or a year with a bit less acid. Nearly nothing on the nose to start with, and in the mouth a lot of dryish bitternes. Feels flat and no fruit or fresh fruitacid.
Two days in the fridge and something has happened. Feels a lot fresher, some common spices and flowerish on the nose and dried fruit without sweetnes in the mouth.
Overall very interesting, but have to taste more before buying Knoll again.
