2023 "Alte Burg" Spätburgunder Großes Gewächs

Bottled in May this year, the 2023 Alte Burg Köndringen Spätburgunder GG opens a little reductive and saline on the nose that reveals a bouquet of concentrated and sweet dark cherry and lingonberry intertwined with notes of dried (cigar) leaves, graphite, earth, roasted coffee beans and mocha. Quite aromatic on the nose and silky, fresh and tightly structured yet refined on the palate, this is a concentrated yet elegant, tensioned, very saline and lingering Pinot with fine but crunchy and crumbly tannins. It really makes you salivate. This is a robust rather than refined Pinot with character. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2025.
