Bodegas Palmera ~ L’Angelet 2006

Saumagen                                Gold

This enthusing wine has just everything. Great balance between the ripe berries and the other leading aromas like tobacco, cacao and exquisite dark chocolate as well. Powerful but so perfectly sharpened by fresh minerality that it stays exciting juicy and elegant. Smooth and velvet. Very spicy overall. Rustic style, no modern wood. A character and a beauty at once.

Winery Kirchner ~ Riesling “Saumagen” 2009

Saumagen                                Gold

This stunning riesling is tremendously driven by fresh and gripping minerality. Clearly chalk. The acid is very subtle providing the wine a playful and slim character aside his power. The ripe fruit is just shaping. Dominating are herbs and flowers. Some tobacco notes as well. Shows depth. Exciting gripping finish.

Domaine Piquemal ~ Pygmalion 2006

Winery Zelt ~ Frühburgunder 2008

Zelt_FB                                Silber

Underestimated grape variety, but this is a spectacular benchmark. Flattering, heart-warming and alluring endlessly. Smooth and strong at once. Enormous ripe berries, significant herbs, licorice and a huge amount of chocolate. Lovely minerality in the background. Formidable.

Winery Knipser ~ Spätburgunder “Kirschgarten” GG 2007

Knipser_Kirschgarten                                Gold

A glamorous pinot that combines a modern style with the soil brilliantly. Very ripe and precise fruit. Thriftless flavor from herbs and vegetables. Noble tobacco, toasted wood and chocolate as well. Exciting earthy and fresh minerality with a characteristically acid. Animalistic touch. Complex. A great and unhurried personality within balance.

Château De La Liquiere ~ Nos Racines 2007

Nos_Racines                                Silber

A beautiful and luring wine from the schist. Unaffected it provides an outstanding fresh minerality which is leading to a lovely “cool-velvet-silky” mouth feeling. Animalistic with a lot of tobacco and blueberry. Slim and tight with primarily power and a formative flavor from herbs and spices. Amazing.

Südpfalz Connexion ~ Spätburgunder “Gräfenhausen” 2008

Graefenhausen                                Gold

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.
