Nose: sexy. Cherry lipstick. Dense. Quite penetrating. Earthiness. Insane sexy rich herbals. Almost like a red chartreuse.
Palate: dense. Purplish a bit. Darker fruits. Hints of cherry licorice. Almost like a very fresh pommard.
Long finish. So grippy. Amazing.
Hanspeter ziereisen made this in vintage. A sick wine for $100. This was much less. — 2 years ago
Elegant and sophisticated and just reserved enough to keep you totally occupied and interested. @Lyle Fass Fantastic! — 3 years ago
Wasn’t called Wurmlin in 16 but it’s the same wine. At 8 years of age this is really coming into its own. Exuberant nose is stone fruits, grapefruit and gorgeous herbs. Some died tree bark and also citrus rind. Palate is stunning. Wow. 9.8 palate for now. Just so concentrated and energetic, with outrageous purity and depth. Amazing structure and length. Unreal palate. This is magic. Crazy citrus and stone fruits and endless finish. Genius! — 9 months ago
Smells tight! But oh so promising. Nose is herbal, spicey and has some early season cherry skins. A hint of early season cherry flesh but this will need many hours to unwind. Some breadth develops with air and the cherries become more clear. Palate is tight but my goodness it is all there. So linear, focused and delineated. Amazing sappines and such finesse. So juicy and fresh. Still a zygote but this will develop over next few days and hours. So brilliant and only showing 10% of what it is. I will be back. Wow now with air it’s soaring. Herbal, spicey, mineral and mid season cherries. So brilliant. Palate is so nimble, pure, sappy and fresh. Crunchy, red-fruited and with elegant dusty tannins. Bright bing cherry on the nose now. Soaring. So fresh and energetic. Still needs mega air after 3 hours for fruit to became more defined.
After a day this is crazy good. Nose is white chocolate and cherries. So detailed. Herbal and mineral. Palate is silly, rich and energetic. Sappy and so dense yet all silk. — a year ago
Always so good. Opulent and incisive. Deep nose. Lots of amplitude. Huge limestone. Herbal. So complex. German Chardonnay is so awesome. What a palate. Huge core of apple and pear fruit and stacked with minerals and a malo sweetness. So long and nimble. Gorgeous wine. Almost 9.5. — 3 years ago
Dark ruby with some purple.
Dark fruit aromas
Surprising body for a German Pinot.

Bright garnet color. Aromas of dark cherry, mushroom, tomato skin with a touch of barnyard funk. Pallet is full of ripe red fruit (cherry, cranberry , raspberry & plum) with notes of mushrooms, baking spices and minerals. A bit of smoke on the finish. Silky tannins. Medium bodied and bright. — 3 years ago
The debut of this. 60% whole cluster. Wow. Red fruits. Earth, limestone. So complex. So earthy yet sweet. Red berries. insanely aromatic. Unreal concentration and purity. High class tannins. So sappy and pure. Amazing intensity. Sappy and juicy. Amazing length. Sick. Insane. Crazy inner mouth aromas. So so deep. Sweet fruit and tannins. Long and I mean long. — 3 years ago
