Furst 2022 Schlossberg GG Spatburgunder 750ml

The 2022 Spätburgunder Schlossberg GG is airy, ethereal and beautiful on the nose and the essence of Pinot and Schlossberg rather than materialized or textured wine, with ripe cherries, red berries, woodruff, underwood, toast, redcurrant, crushed stones and wet earth. The wine cannot become greater on the palate than it is on the nose you think, and then you take a sip and get a silky, velvety texture, great intensity and energy, fleshy, now materialized fruit, even sensuality, crunchy tannins and a long, intense yet ethereal umami finish. Absolutely fabulous. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
