2019 vintage. Contribution to the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) along with @Pinotman /// Andreas and an appreciative regular. Medium/medium-heavy body. Darker fruit and spices aplenty this effort. Not quite as ripe as other CDLT efforts (maybe a dozen at this point¿?) tasted in the last two years. Far from flashy, this Pinot, unlike you, does its best work in the dark. The quality, effort and experience slowly creeps up and, before you know it, you’re actively planning a getaway weekend with it. Stealth juice. 3.20.26. — a day ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas 2024 Burgundies I’ve tasted so far highly variable. Will be buying precious few that I haven’t personally tasted.

2023 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. 12.2% ABV. Light-medium body. Slight hint of initial sweetness before casting it off. Obscene amounts of stone fruit flavors on the finishing palate. Clean almost to a fault. Trace amount of petrol made a cameo appearance on the intro after 1.5 hours open. Nice bleep @Pinotman /// Andreas. Thank you again! — a day ago

Stonefruit mostly super clean. Always among the top 20 Rieslings in Germany. Saddly $$$.

9.3

2023 vintage. Second (white) wine tasted from this producer and second, double thumbs up. Medium body and similarly weighty oak detail. Spicy finish. A little fleshy. A little oaky. A little jicama (!?) and lychee thang just hang(ing) there. Splash of mineral influences. Fairly forward with only one, or two, side quest(s). $64 USD resto cost...pre-tariff pricing. With tariffs? Haha. A few years ago, this woulda been $35-40. Ouch. 3.19.26. — 2 days ago
