The 2019 Spätburgunder Hundsrück GG is intense and spicy on the deep, rich yet also pure and salty nose that is reminiscent of iron-rich soils, iodine, ivy, mint and raw meat. This is incredibly deep, ripe and fruit-intense and as pure as it can be; it's simply great in its easiness and complexity. Full-bodied, lush and round as well as tensile and fresh, this is a highly finessed and tightly structured, close-meshed and dense Pinot of great class and style. Surely one of the finest Pinots made in Germany, and I don't get any oak flavors here like I did when I tasted this at the Wiesbaden GG tasting at the end of August. A phenomenal wine. 13% alcohol. Natural cork.
In spite of the subtle red-fruit aromas, this wine has a dark, earthy and smoky core. Breathtaking combination of serious concentration, major fine tannins and lively acidity that lifts the long, very intense finish beautifully.
