  4/1/2020 6:34:00 AM - Thank you for your message! I agree, there is a lot to like about German Spätburgunder nowadays. My favourite producers include Hanspeter Ziereisen, Bernhard Huber and Karl H. Johner from Baden, Rudolf Fürst from Franken and Knipser from Pfalz, but there are quite a few other producers that would be worth mentioning. And it is a matter of preference, of course. Bernhard Huber seeks to make Burgundy-style wines and harvests very early. If you like fuller styles Meyer-Näkel would be a better place to look. I’ll give you my email address by posting a comment and deleting it afterwards, please reach out if you’d like to discuss in more detail. And let me know if you ever come to the Frankfurt area in Germany and we’ll pop a few older Spätburgunders!

After reading through a bunch of reviews decided to follow; looking forward to seeing what you're drinking in 2019 and beyond.

Those that picked slightly early were rewarded, although there are those that probably were left to hang a little too later, overextracted, jammy, hitting drinking window now. 05's I quite like, most of mine drinking very well know. 09's I dont have many or much experience on, with 2010 being outstanding I haven't picked many 09's up.

• chatters says:

  1/22/2017 4:12:00 PM - Indeed it will be! They said judging by the success of it that they'll do it again next year. I'll defo go if they do. cheers, chatters.
