Dark & brooding, with great depth & purity of fruit and dark spices in the background. Sour cherries, dark sweet cherries, a whiff of huckleberry.
Tightly wound on the palate with fine, grippy, juicy tannins and brilliant cherry acidity. This has presence & focused complexity yet remains very elegant.
This is a stunning, profound wine.

Beautiful, deep yellow tones to this youthful wine. Cool riesling with intense yellow fruits and minerals while retaining a high acidity. Long finish with light spices, maybe, just maybe a hint of saffron. — 6 years ago

This one is just getting better and better. Had one glass for five consecutive days, just the see how it is developing. The best glass was the last one, which tells a lot about the quality of this wine. Wow! — 9 years ago

Sunday chill chardonnay *** from Knipser, Germany. They only make a couple of hundred bottles, once every few years when the vintage permits

Intense, bright golden color, the wine sticks to the inside of the glass.

Nose has citrus and orange peels, my son smelled autumn leaves.

Palate gives citrus fruit, white stones and a nice round mouthfeel and creamy texture.

Finsh is long and an extension of the palate.

Very herby nose with the fruit well hidden. Quite powerful but amazingly approachable on the palate (just released). would benefit still from a few more years. Great wood mgnt. A very, very nice Pinot. — 7 years ago

Die neueste Rosé-Linie aus dem Hause Knipser. Schöne Säure, leichtes Holzaroma ... darf auch gern noch ein paar Jahre liegen. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! — 9 years ago

Elegant SB! It appears light. Smooth, earthy with a hint of nuts. It fitted perfect to a garlic-goatcheese quiche; mmm — 9 years ago

Eine gern gesehene Cuvee aus der Pfalz, in der Preisklasse aus meiner Sicht in dem Jahrgang mit eine Referenz — 10 years ago

6 months with skins on the lees gives this wine its sherry-like colour and fantastic intensive flavour. Brioche, caramel and oak with more acid than 2012. Definately not for everyone but a very special wine — 5 years ago

Clear as spring water, with seemingly little to offer. Yet the concentration, purity and precision is amazing + a finish that last ages. Waaay to young to drink now, wait & wait even longer.
This is brilliant stuff. — 7 years ago

Bracingly tart cold, like a dry Oregonian. But what a nose and change when it warms up. Very aromatic. — 7 years ago

2009 vintage. At The Gardens restaurant, Munich. German Bordeaux blend - how bizarre, but it works! Medium ruby hue. Deep intensity of aromas: Black Forest gateau, savoury spices, body odour earthiness. Mineral and metallic. Some smokey aromas. Complex and deep. On the palate, dry, medium plus acidity, full bodied, medium tannin - ripe and rich. Satin mouthfeel. Long rich finish. Lovely. Much more impressive than the Knipser Cuvée X from the same vintage. Drink now until 2032. — 9 years ago
