This was a rather disappointing wine given the hype and the price = wonderful spicy nose of black pepper and dark fruit, well lifted and subtle; palate quite elegant, but rather thin with drying tannins.
It is possible that I am drinking this wine too young, but to be frank I don't see the potential in terms of weight of fruit that will justify long-term cellaring. 2016 was not the best of years for spatburgunder, so I will keep an open mind.

Wow!!! This is how german Spätburgunder should taste. These type of wines are just so immensely intense, powerful and yet elegant and I almost feel stupid trying to put words into the experience - it's very hard to describe. I won't even bother because every word, every sentence and every note wouldn't do this wine any justice at all - yes it is that good! :-) So, for once I'll just shut up, let the wine speak for itself and just enjoy...

GG Tour VDP.GROSSE LAGE 2019 (Handelskammer Hamburg): This one is the todays top of the heap from Stodden, electric, tasty red fruit, this is all about harmony and elegance, very long, will benefit from 5- 10+ years in your cellar, *(***-*****), 94+ potential

Dark and bright red fruit, tansluscent color, earthy and smokey, good complexity with persistent. A very competent Pinot. 93-94
