We definitely should trust Jancis Robinson on this particular one. I strongly believe this is the great Pomerol ( in affordable range ) ... can’t wait to try “magical” 2019 and 2020. — 3 years ago
Unlikely that anyone on Delectable has had this wine. Jancis Robinson ranked this high so i did drive to the winery many years ago boy is this remote. Pinot Noir from Franken is essentially unheard of. Spice, earth, dark fruit, lime. Lost some fruit! Drink up it is my last bottle and it was better years ago. I did see the soil - flat out limestone - like on the best sites in Burgundy. Anyways I would say drink up. Crew Cap! 13.5%. — 8 months ago
Jancis robinson was right! Fruit is well preserved. Opera of a wine. — 4 years ago

Everything you want in a rosé.Crisp, refreshing, opens up as the meal goes on. This got lost in the bday blizzard but was returned to, time and again.
According to Johnson & Robinson @World Atlas of Wine, Rosé accounts for just 1% in Burg, but is a specialty in Marsannay.

Still a very dense crimson with no tawny rim, at 28 years of age but the tawniness is beginning. A certain feral, Animale, earthy note. Palate is ultra smooth, medium bodied / very savoury yet with a sweetish earthy note with a hint of raspberry. Jancis Robinson was invited by Stephen Henschke to a vertical tasting at the winery in May 2013 to cover vintages back to the late 1950’s. She described the 1996 as “pure hedonism “ and gave it 19/20. Medium plus intensity on the delicious palate with those gnarled old 150 year vines showing through. An absolutely stunning wine - one of the best we’ve had this year. — 3 days ago
