Becker Landgraf Gau-Odernheimer Spätburgunder

The second vintage of this wine I've tried, and very happy with it. For $20 this is the best value in pinot I think I've ever come across. At 8 years old this is moving towards being mostly secondary, but you can tell there was some beautiful fruit here. It's still there, but the earthy, mushroom, truffle, and mineral qualities dominate in an extremely elegant, Burgundian way.

Brilliant Pinot: Transparant red color. Strong acid and ligth body. Strawberry, earth and mushrooms with a ligth feel of creamy oak. Great value and much better than most Burgundies in the same pricerange (20 usd)

Translucent brick red colour. Bright nose of Pinot fruit with some savoury compliments. Beetroot, rose hip, lingonberry, perfume, pine, rooibos and a touch of smoky/butterscotch oak. Rather lightbodied and supple on the palate with acidity rising towards the finish. Some pepper, rose hip, liquorice, minerality and oak. Good length. Extremely drinkable!

Light red/orange color, almost a dark Rosé. Very fragrant with an excellent pinot nose. Bright fresh strawberry fruit. Deep fruity and spicy nuances with a ligth feel of creamy oak in the finish. Kicks the teeth out of the most red burgundies in that price range. Will buy more!
