Becker Landgraf
J2 Gau-Odernheimer Spätburgunder
Rheinhessen, Germany
Perhaps the lightest-colored Pinot I’ve poured. Floral, perfumed, light-bodied but with nice acidity and cranberry, rhubarb, blood-orange notes. Some tomato leaf notes, a little green peppercorn. Very subtle, even compared to Burgundy. Spätburgunder has not seen the last of me. Solid QPR. SommSelect.

Reminiscent of good quality Chambolle with a touch more flesh and pliancy. This is stupid good for the price, when I’m old I’ll be bitching about how cheap this was back in the day. High toned, crunchy, deeply earthy and loaded with ripe red/black fruit. The finesse is there. Black cherry, wild strawberry, rhubarb compote, black tea, wildflowers, wet leaves, undergrowth, spice. Again, the elegance coupled with the perfume and harmony this carries really delivers.

Bright red cherry, strawberry and rhubarb nose. Loads of savory, umami character on the palate- beef jerky, soy sauce, mushroom flavors. Very light colored with delicate structure and juicy acidity- truly made for exotic food. I would love this with sushi, ramen or even Korean BBQ. Excellent Spätburgunder. Classy, elegant wine with a slightly feral, meaty side to it.

Great fruity Pinot, not the usual structure of a typical Pinot but delivers in an different way.

Good wine. Not very sophisticated and a little harsh, but it will easily beat any 20$ US Pinot. From K&L.
