2011 Brauneberger Klostergarten*** Pinot Noir Q.b.A. trocken

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The three stared Brauneberger Klostergarten Pinot Noir *** appears as a true grand cru on the nose pairing intensity with a remarkable high level of finesse. It is from the same cordon parcels as the two-star Pinot, but from vines that were even more reduced than the ** wine. The wines shows a superbly and alluringly fine, sweet, pure and floral aroma of cassis licorice and violas, whereas on the palate this is a beautifully seamless, perfectly balanced and silky textured Pinot with a sweet and juicy, lovely intense taste and an extremely fine tannin structure. This is one of the finest German Pinots I can remember. - Stephan Reinhardt, Feb. 2015
