FJ Regnery Klüsserather Bruderschaft Spätburgunder Auslese trocken

Nice, well balanced, fruity with some oaky notes Pinot from Mosel. Would love buy more from it at 18€ certainly competitive with many other PN

Made by the Spätburgunder specialist of Mosel, harvested at Auslese ripeness level and fermented to dryness. Aged for 15 months in old oak barriques. Bottled unfiltered. 13,5% alcohol. Dark, translucent and slightly hazy pomegranate red color with a subtly evolved figgy hue. Concentrated and quite classic, spicy Spätburgunder nose with rather intense aromas of peppery spice, smoke, some ripe cranberry, light stony mineral tones, a little bit of coniferous forest and a brambly hint of black raspberry. Quite robust, fresh …

I am a bit ambivalent when it comes to German Pinot Noir, often nice but also often somewhat bleach and lack of fruit. This one is certainly not overly fruity, but had a very nice tingly mineralic dmall red fruit backbone with subtle leather and wood notes. From a Mosel producer who already longer time works with Pinot Noir. Recommended.
