Becker is one of my favourite winemakers in Germany. However this bottle was a little disappointing. A simple spätburgunder without expected complexity. Easy drinking.

Yes, yes, yes. Lovely nose with coffee, sweet strawberry and some crushed rock. On the palate, great acidity, more coffee notes, crushed strawberry, a touch of blood orange. So bright and tense, but so expressive...very fruit forward at this stage, but still very pleasurable...

A very good , classic Spätburgunder. With original German mix of berries, earth, leather in still quite young wine. At the same time it is delicate and with a good potential for the future.

Rund, schmeichelnd, verführerisch, auf der Zunge tanzend; ein gut gereifter Pinot Noir wie aus dem Bilderbuch
