Tasted from the bottle, along with numerous grands crus from Germany, Fürst's 2018 Centgrafenberg Spätburgunder GG showed great. It's coolish, spicy and elegant but also concentrated and complex on the nose. In a noble way discreet but exciting in its tension, this is a concentrated, round and even smooth Pinot with generosity, sustainable grip and vitality.
Even in a Burgundian context, this would be a remarkable pinot noir with intense herbal character, very polished tannins and a long, silky finish that just keeps going. Drink or hold.
