This is meatier with darker fruit and spices. Definitely more serious and a step-up in quality with thanks to a broad structure which will ensure this matures well and keeps its power. The texture is fluid, balancing the additional richness perfectly. Tight at first, this needs time to open up so allow an hour or so in a decanter to reveal its weighty palate full of fruit and very long length.

The aromas and richness of the Pinot noir at this estate just gets richer and richer as we approach this lovely offering from the Schlossberg vineyard. The nose is redolent of the typical red fruited, spiced, gamey notes one finds in all top quality Pinot noir – The favourable terrain and aspect certainly shines through here. The palate is medium weight and savoury and yet has a lovely breeziness to it, with a clean, crisp and spicy ending.

This is a touch deeper than Centgrafenberg but still pale and delicate. Fuller fruit flavours are found here with perfumed, almost clinical precision. This has the fleshy characters you want, but with a delicacy and supple, fluid texture, balanced by cleansing acidity. Characters of warm clove from the oak and a depth of fruit to carry the oak tannins. This opens with each swirl of the glass and shows real poise & elegance, with a beautiful, balanced finish.

Centgrafenberg offers dazzling aromatics. Again pale cherry red in colour, but slightly darker and more intense in style. Pure cherry and sour berry flavours dominate the palate. Delicate and fine yet there’s generous flesh here. Full of unmistakable Pinot Noir finesse and charm. Silky and elegant, with fine tannins and a savoury spice note on the finish. This should evolve very nicely indeed.
