  Pop and poured at the end of a dinner. Tasted again the following day after saving under vacu-vin and refirgeration.
  Grassl Cru stem.
  Ruby color.
  Nice noes with hint of pine and red berries. Some pomegranate as well.
  Wonderful fresh red berry fruit. Lively and with a nice spice note and herbal accent as well.
  Does not have the snappy cranberry note that I usually find in the Alpine Vineyard Pinots.
  Delicious wine.

  The nose and length are reticent bjt the mouth is singing, with fruit and structure and the whole rest of the picture. If the nose and length come out, there’s substantial upside.

  From 375ml. Neeeed some serious air best on day 3. Lovely red cherry fruit mixed some herbal geeen notes. Fresh palate, quite nice but still could use some time to integrate the stem notes.

  From 375ml. and it is drinking nicely now in this format. Agree with the prior notes on earthy and dried red fruits and spices. Good depth and breadth, yet the intensity is subtle and delicately balanced across the whole palate. Plenty of life left.
  4+13+18+9= 94

  Wow, wow, wow….I can’t wait to try this again 4-5 years from now. The nose was earth, mineral, and dried red fruit, as was the palate. Wonderful balance and subtle complexity, this will undoubtedly improve over the next few years. Can’t wait to open another bottle!
