From a parcel located directly across a dirt path from the Grasberg, the 2000 Burg (pronounced "boorg") has lemon and spring onion aromas. This medium-bodied wine is dense and thick, as well as austere. Its viscous texture and backward character make a valiant attempt at hiding this wine's massive underlying power. Loads of dry extract can be found in its quinine and red berry-flavored core as well as in its extremely long finish. This wine will require cellaring before revealing the true heights it is capable of attaining. Projected maturity: 2006-2016. According to Deiss, "2000 was a vintage of great weather, yet one that carries with it problems of balance, like all great vintages. Some will consider these wines as too rich and having too much alcohol or residual sugar." He added that "2001 presented us with climatic chaos but the end result is as great as 2000." Deiss, a bio-dynamic farmer, stressed that he never chaptalizes his wines, including the reds.Importer: New Castle Imports, Inc., Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463
