Domaine Ostertag Pinot Noir "E"

Deux ans depuis la dernière bouteille. Peu d'évolution. Toujours agréable. Un peu moins de verdeur en bouche peut-être...

$20-$40 Pinots from Alsace & Burgundy : Juicy cherry color. Aromas of bright strawberries, red apple peel, rhubarb, white pepper and spiced tea. On the palate, I get brisk acidity with silky tannins, a bit lean in body but so fresh and tangy. Red apple, tart strawberries and red plums combine with complex elements of rose petal, sage, white pepper, tar and spiced black tea. Lovely now but could improve over the next few years. This isn’t a chewy, in-your-face …

Kermit Lynch Tasting at Wine Wizards : Straightforward with good unadorned lean Pinot character and fruit, crisp and clean in the mouth. Everything was nice except the price, for $32 I can get wines that have more style.

À commenter à la prochaine bouteille. Bon pinot noir d'Alsace dans mes goûts de pinot autrichien actuels.
