  Visit to the estate. Current production is around 120k bottles overall on 14 hectares. General snippets from the tasting: i/ The estate used to be larger, but several hectares were sold off in order to focus on only the best sites. ii/ In 2021, they lost 50% of production due to frost damage right after budbreak. iii/ A warm region where they can‘t do Riesling, but protected by the black forest from too much heat. iv/ Non grafted vines. v/ All reds are equally aged in lightly toasted French oak, 1/3 new, 1/2 used once, 1/3 second use, a more light-handed approach by Julian Huber compared to Bernhard Huber who used to work with more new wood.
  
  Tasting note:
  From vines 30 to 70 years of age. Using more extraction than for the Normal Ortswein where vines age about 25 years on average. Intense sour cherry fruit along with smoky and flintstone dimensions. The palate was youthful, not (yet) balanced and likely needs time.

  玫瑰花香带着红樱桃、草莓、树莓、蔷薇果泥和轻微杨梅，香气透彻而细致，平面延伸，外周轻微的丁香、月桂叶等香料味同些许桶味，不影响清新感的情况下增添内力。口感中单宁以舌面为中心，向外扩散，较均匀细致。此时果味仍新鲜多汁，各种红果在口腔内绽出汁水，随后围绕中心演进，饮感轻松流畅，后段轻微香料和木质，收尾较长。91+/100

  更有力和集中，香气同样开放，艳而不俗的红樱桃、草莓、草莓浓缩汁、红醋栗和树莓等，略带硬糖质地和轻微橘子皮味，弥漫开来的玫瑰和各种红花，有精油感，后段甘草粉之类的香料，桶味还稍显明显。口感上，结构虽然不大，比起2020以及2019年份款显瘦，但仍有不错的结实感，单宁多一些，有紧致感，果味流畅有主干。91/100

  Impressions from "Perspektive Wein" fair (Wagenhallen, Stuttgart): Glass: White wine
  *** brief notes for my own memory from tasting sip. No rating ***
  Beautiful german Pinot that serves the unexperienced drinker and the ambitioned Wine nerd. Clear, precise, nice fruit, high acidity, good balance and harmony. But: For the same Price you get a Pinot GG from Aldinger, which is a step up. So: Very good wine, bad PQR. 90-91
