The Pinot is compact and ultra-dense; dark red and black fruit, tons of spice and saturation. It is very, very inward looking, though pristine and transparent and very delicate – only 11.5%. A brilliant wine but it will need some time to unfurl. Mosel Fine Wine’s review is below.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2020er Pinot Noir (with L-Nr. 6-22) was made with whole bunch fruit macerated for 10 days and was fermented and aged along natural lines, i.e. without intervention, in 7-to-8-year-old 228-liter oak barrels from Burgundy before being bottled in April 2022 unfiltered and with little SO2 added (30 mg/l). It offers an absolutely jaw-dropping nose made of juicy scents of cherry, wild strawberry, and blueberry wrapped into a most stunning sense of fine Asian spices and clove. The wine is still subtly tart yet fruity on the palate and leaves a most elegant feel of fine spices and deep ripe red and black-berried fruits in the long finish. The aftertaste is still a tad tart at this stage but proves a tour de force as it is deep yet airy, silky yet firm, and smooth yet focused. What a superb and gorgeously complex expression of Pinot Noir from the Mosel! The difficulty will be to not drink the few rare bottles one will get before this beauty reaches maturity. | No. 64 Dec 2022 |
