2016 Pinot Noix Spätburgunder Q.b.A. trocken Daniel Twardowski, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2016er Pinot Noix Ardoise, as it is written on the consumer label, was made with 30% of stems. This medium-light brick-red colored wine offers a beautifully aromatic nose made of warm earth, spices, herbs, ripe red berry fruits (including strawberry puree), blackberry, and a hint of tomato compote. Intense flavors of black-berried fruits, tar, and dark spices make for a rich and ripe feel on the palate. Some tannic presence coupled with some zest make for a still slightly tangy and tart feel in the bone-dry and gorgeously persistent finish. This impressive expression of Pinot Noir now only needs some patience for its tannins and sharpness to melt away. 2024-2033+. - Aug. 2020
