My first Von Der Mark wine. And wow. He is a Pinot specialist from Baden. Vines near Freiburg like Möbitz. A Dutch fellow who is also a MW. I zoomed with him for an hour before he sent me samples. The right people liked his wines and that was enough for me to get samples.

Ridiculously high toned nose. Just incredible. Huge Pinot aromas that are classic and delightful at the same time. It smells like Chambolle like it’s crazy. Or a killer Vosne Romanee Village wine. It’s one of the Jost lifted aromatic wines I’ve had. Usually wines have an aromatic ceiling. This has none. Straight to your brain. There’s a citrus undertone. Ethereal floral complexity. Elite. It’s broad but filled out and clear. There is also a lovely earthy funk. Wow. Vosne Romanee violets. This is crazy aromatic. Like elite. Palate is so good. This is so elegant, has such terrific mouthfeel. Terrific compact fruit intermingled with crazy spice. Juicy and so clean. Sour, mid season cherries form a sweet/tart interplay that is terrific. Awesome ripeness and just insanely fresh, deep, pure and fleshy cherry fruit. This has guts as well. Sweet, ripe tannins and minerals abound in the finish,which is crazy long. This is as easy to ponder as it is to drink. — 6 years ago

2015 is apparently the season for German rosés chez moi. Is this a function of having unceremoniously quit my job selling French wines? Perhaps. Or perhaps they are just extra extra good this year, perhaps both. Freiherr Spätburgunder tastes like pure watermelon juice. 100% ideal for 4 pm on a Wednesday, or any other time for that matter. 💕💕💕raise the steins to @Amanda Linn & @Michael Newsome for bring this my way.

In der Nase etwas Erdbeere, leicht animalische, dabei Töne von Minze und Fruchtbonbons. Steinig und mineralisch am Gaumen mit frischer Frucht und würzig-eckigem Tannin. — 11 years ago

Wow what a nose. Super citrus, green herbals, sage, some lemongrass, so complex, floral as well. Melon, green and honeydew. A great blind SB as no grass, piss or gooseberry. So complex. So unique. Palate is insanely fresh, complex and has terrific structure and depth. Wow. This is major and a very serious SB that calls Graves and also Germany. It’s rich, complex and super nimble. Palate is super focused and so precise. Fruit is blend of various citrus, hint of vineyard stone fruits and loads of minerals on the finish. Long ass finish as well. Gets to every nook and cranny. Some crannies have fruit and some nooks have minerals.

After air the fruit starts to come out aromatically. Stone fruits, citrus and even confectionary aromas. Concentrated and earthy. Terrific finish. Almost 9.4. — 6 years ago

This is 2013 vintage. Seeing more dry (trocken) Rieslings from Germany and for good reason - they are delicious! Previously have enjoyed the von Buhl dry Rieslings. This wine has a nose of cut flowers and good depth of fruit on palate. Hints of white peach. Low acid cut indicates more drink now style. Will buy more. 17.5+ — 12 years ago
