Südpfalz Connexion ~ Spätburgunder “Gräfenhausen” 2008

                                

Barnstorming Pinot for „retro and classic fans”. A wine completely different from most of the market now. Pure and primarily. Meditates quietly by itself. Individual, sensitive and tremendous subtle. Profound and touching with infinite details. Densely but nearly weightless. Magnificent.

Winery Zelt ~ Cabernet Franc 2009

                                

This very delightful wine is a rare example of Cabernet Franc which is not so often bottled separately. It’s a pity because the potential is huge like this benchmark shows. Warm and full-bodied it flatters with chocolate and very ripe berries. Shows alluring flow with power and a significant peppery flavor. Juicy with cold elements (minerality) in the background. Impressive.

A brilliant Pinot with tremendous refreshing minerality. Showing in a perfect way where he is coming from. Pure and gripping with focus on subtlety and depth. Herbs, lovely toasted wood and ripe berries are playing together absolutely in balance. Powerful and razor-sharpened. An original, unfussy.

Drink it now with bottle opened for some minutes. Should have around 18°C.

Winery Siener ~ Riesling “Taschberg” 2009

                                

The „Taschberg“ 2009 is a stunning wine scoring with enormous authenticity. Characteristically earthy minerality mixed up with countless slightly bitter herbs and juicy apples and peaches. Gripping and powerful with refreshing acidity. Fascinating.

If i remember correctly the 2009 was the last dry „Taschberg“. It changed into a sweeter and more easy-going direction.
