  Just opened, this German Pinot Noir begins as an embodiment of what most red wine drinkers dislike: a translucent see through red color, a light weight body, hardly any tannin or texture, a pungent acidity, and meager fruit. But an improvement on the second day opened reveals some hope for a better wine: a somewhat darker shade of red, an emergent black cherry fruit, and a longer lasting finish. The third day was a wonderful discovery of how this kind of Pinot Noir can be fabulously enjoyable as a meal time additive. Led by a now juicy and rich red cherry that did not overpower, replace, or suppress any of the flavors in the foods, the wine and food were so much better together that I keep sipping the wine with each bite of food. The crowning glory of this wine and food experience was a magnificent, complex, and persistent aftertaste.

  Organic viticulture, 13% ABV. Supple and juicy, gentle and open style, very mild tannins, strawberries and flowers, soft but fresh, pure style, not lactic at all, hints of herbs and earth, good length. Restaurant Eifler’s Zeiten, Burg Flamersheim, Euskirchen, Germany.
