The 2016 Hecklinger Schlossberg Sp?tburgunder GG is deep, pure and intense on the spicy and mineral-flavored nose, where black currant and underwood notes are displayed and interwoven with delicate licorice flavors. Smooth and gentle on the palate but pure, lush and concentrated, this is a highly vital and finessed Pinot Noir with generous, lush and charming fruit, fine, silky tannins and a lingering mineral freshness. The finish is very long and aromatic and reveals an impressive intensity. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2018.

A hint of rosemary lifts the cherry and blackberry fruit in this tightly wound version. Hints of juniper and licorice emerge midpalate, while lively acidity imparts energy and focus. Very elegant and has all the elements, but this needs more time to integrate. Best from 2022 through 2032. 320 cases made.??–AZ??Region: Germany / Baden Select to Add
