A. Christmann, Gimmeldingen Spatburgunder, Pfalz

Schon durchgezeichnete Säure, die den Wein trägt. Vielschichtig, aber nicht sehr tief und lang. Sehr schöner Trinkfluss.

top notch village pinot noir from pfalz vinery christmann. in perfect shape right now. ‚german’ in a very profound way. red and black fruits, pomegranate, dried herbs, mushroom touch. vibrant fresh with a meaty feeling. long finish.

First year made by the daughter Sophie. Pretty nose, medium plus intensity, dried cherry, orange peel, rose petal, tart cranberry, hint of dried spice, herbal tone. Palate is light, acid driven but in a balanced way, delicate layers, fruit complexity is subtle but there, orange zest, raspberry, no real spice note, tart finish, medium length. Might be too light for some, this is a thinking person's Pinot, not a wow up front style. Great food wine as well, nicely made.

red fruits (strawberry, cherry, raspberry, pomegranate), a bit of herbs & black pepper, subtle oak, nice acidity. complexity is there. 89-90.

Quite approachable despite the young age. Great fun.

The typical red fruit notes are more decent here. Cherry, strawberry with very floral notes, spices, pepper, and rosemary. Nicely integrated high acidity.
