Recent reviews by some on CT had me curious about how these were evolving so I had to check in myself and personally assess, you know, for science. Popped and poured; consumed over three days. The first day was OTT with red fruit and spices...but mostly the fruit. The spices, really sort of a one-note black pepper bomb, pricking the tongue, perhaps giving a glimpse of something more interesting if patience was exercised. Super clean with no signs of brett. I was almost taken aback because this was coming across rather ham fisted and definitely an outlier for Pegaü. I say almost. Two days later, I revisited the remaining half of the bottle and that’s when things really started to show off. Chewy red and black fruits were still very much in abundance but they were now more delineated and showing somewhat grainy tannins which seems much more pronounced now than they were on the first night. Think the texture of eating a mouthful of brambles. The spices that were teasing on the first night were stepping up to play a more pronounced role taking on more of a black licorice character with some lovely garrigue. Sound structure...though perhaps not as impressive as the 2016 Cuvée Réservée. Long, lip smacking finish though...and really delivering the goods! Based off this experience, I would imagine the best is yet to come for the 2015 Pegaü. If you’re drinking on the pop and pour, prepare for disappointment. These could use some time. I look forward to revisiting in 2025 and beyond. — 6 years ago

Young, sure. But already insistent and rich and dense, even as it maintains really excellent balance. This has more to offer Down the road. — 9 years ago

I really need to stop storing whites in my food fridge when they seem to always open once reaching a cellar temp. Here's a fun little field blend that takes to warming well. Chardonnay, Weissburgunder, Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner and Riesling. What I'd call a silver-skinned nose - green herbal scents mixed into flint and smoke. A little bit of texture and bite, interplay of high acid and cream. Lands nicely with apples, pears, kumquat, and starfruit and that little bite which I love. — 4 years ago

Impressive concentration and depth, roses on the nose, great acid, really well made wine from an apparently a killer vintage in Baden, and an amazing producer. This is the real deal folks — 9 years ago

A touch of grapefruit, some apricot & green apple, loads of herbs. On the palate with great depth & good structure, with nice weight, juicy acidity and an elegant, long finish. This is good stuff! — 7 years ago

Compared to my first impression I had when I tasted this boy back in November last year for the first time, the oak appears a bit more present, especially on the palate. Curious to see if & how it will integrates over the next years. Nevertheless a cool, focused Chardonnay which is definitely one of the best examples of this grape variety out of Germany. — 9 years ago
