Bürgel Spätburgunder

Another Burgel data point. Was a surprisingly easy blind for the group - last red, so perhaps everyone’s palate was better calibrated by then. Cool fruited, but with a little more flesh and concentration compared to the Swiss Pinot. Apparent woody spice, some bacon fat and leather, herbal nuances, silky texture, and bright acidity. A streak on salinity in the back end completes the wine, though I found it less obvious than the similarly mineral Swiss Pinot. In a sense, same same but different. Still very young at this stage and will improve as it sheds some baby fat.
