During a Germany/Austria tasting dinner with a few French friends. Unlike in a recent Napa Cabernet evening where we walked away disappointed with the expensive but unimpressive, sweetish wines, this evening was a big revelation. The Rieslings showed very well as expected but the big surprise was the high quality of the German Pinots. TN: Nose of blue fruit intermixed with oak and spices. Very intense palate, more like a riper Oregon Pinot but enough acidity to carry the frame. Good but not so much my style.

Super pinot noir! Still young, but what a power. Great nose, power red fruit, and an unincredible length

Early in its life for sure but starting to show what it will be. Plenty of smokiness, strong fruit behind that. Moderate length. Needs time still.
