"From a coolish year and entirely sourced in the Steingrube, the 2021 Spätburgunder Trocken opens with a fine and juicy cherry and cassis aroma intertwined with darker toasty notes. Silky and fresh on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, intense and juicy Pinot Noir with fine tannins intertwined with saline/crystalline acidity. It's a very respectable and serious red wine from vines planted in the late 1980s (German clones) and in 2000 (Dijon). It can match any Bourgogne rouge. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork." - Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
