Keller, Florsheim Frauenberg Spatburgunder GG, Rheinhessen

Count on Acker Auction-- two expensive bottles that were over heated, oxidized and undrinkable

Ruby with garnet hue to garnet with brick hue in thin layers. From the Riedl Sommelier pinot noir glas. Only medium intensity, but quite complex with cherries, red berries and different terpenes. With further airing without decant it gets more intensity retaining all nuances. On the palate it shows refreshing acidity with tannins almost shed. Very smooth and silky. 5/12/18/10. -2035

Keller's 2013 Frauenberg is classic and lightweight with sour & dark cherry and earth tones. Bright acidity make for a vibrant palate with flavors of cherry but finishes dry and a bit austere.

Quite pretty. Wild berries. Some oak. A little easy and one dimensional. Not sure worth the tariff on these.
