Tough to taste after the Barolo. Nice but man this has so much fruit. Over the top just too much for me. Yes nice price point but the white burghs are priced for OpenAI employees and the reds are getting so refined and at least in this case finetuned towards the California palate to please the crowds….about 50 bucks. — 10 hours ago

Generous and big so different from the Greiner Chard. This essentially tastes like a rich white Burgh at 50% off. Quince, hint pineapple touch bitter, Too bad it is crew cap because otherwise it would have more curb appeal. German Chards just beat white Burghs on price. They really do…. — 11 hours ago

Perfect. I am not into high ratings or superlatives. But this is it. Powerful and ridiculous dense fruit. Elderflower mostly!!!! red and black currant. Can run another 2-3 years but wouldn’t risk it at this stage. My 2012’s were suitcase imports it was a time when the winery considered to stop importing to the US. I convinced them otherwise. One of the very few wines which still tickles my palate in ways other wines - just don’t! Often they just made one barrel 300 bottles. — 13 days ago

Comes across light like a feather. Quite pale. Top La Morra juice. Classic. Incredibly perfumed! What a wine - once in a while a Barolo come across my palate where I say need to have more. Roses, rose pedals, tons of tannins, cherry. A little spicy and hot because it is 14.5%. — 10 hours ago

This was highly rated (I think in the wine spectator) and for about 36$ why not grab some. A little rough around the edges. Clearly top shelf oak was not used for this. Cherry,….but this is honest and feels like it has a sense op place. Rated this before at this stage less impressive compared to when it was younger. — 6 days ago

188$. I love the wine maker and have back vintages. But I am at the point that I am done with red burghs - they are just insanely overpriced. This used to be in the 60‘s. Yes cherry some earth. And perhaps mushrooms. But boy at this price i just can’t recommend this wine over Oregon or especially German Pinots at 50% or more discount. Gained complexity (tea notes & spice) after 2 days on Argon so I increased rating to 9.3. Still the price ……. — 7 days ago

One of the best wineries in Germany have been there. 44$. Pinot Gris/Pinot Blanc. Very well made. At this point super eggy. This needs more time to settle. 13%. Good - a hard sell to the typical consumer. Would revisit every 3 years. Not sure we’re this is heading. — 11 hours ago

Yes, crew cap but so what! - Just tasted vis-a-vis chards from across the world. My evaluation is unchanged - top shelf Chard - crisp bright and rightfully considered one of the top imports of the year. Tupitz Wines just brought more to the US. — 12 hours ago

David Hirsch passed away this week - so this is a tough one. Gained complexity with time 4 days under Argon gas line. Mostly raspberry driven. No cherry here…. — 8 days ago

World class. Fully mature. Cork in perfect condition. Brown tinged. This is how burghs used to taste before they were fine tuned for the rich and famous. I had difficulties with the 2011’s. But this B. and also the M. are perfect. Light and elegant, Bergamot, lime, cranberry, red currant, faintest hint of bitterness. — 13 days ago
