2018 Jean Stodden Recher Spatburgunder Herrenberg armagnac

2018 Jean Stodden Recher Spatburgunder Herrenberg armagnacIf you're looking for world class old world Pinot from outside of Burgundy, Germany is your best best. It's probably wrong to put them in the same category, but if we have to draw a comparison, this is ultimately Premier Cru Sptburgunder. It's bloody good value in context, with Stodden being one of the oldest and very, very best producers of Pinot Noir in the world. This wine is super fragrant and wild. Black cherry and vanilla do the talking, with

which I quite like

with flavors of green apples

with a flash of gold at the edge when you look closely leaves thin coat on swirling

it’s amazing how this one tastes exactly like dried figs

Genting notes are present

this aroma is born of the maturation of the very old Borderies grapes at their absolute peak

made with a blend of malt whiskies distilled in 1992

Warming flavors begin with cedar and lead to concentrated red and dark fruit with an element of dried fruit character

stylish bottle

fruity and malty flavours like a well made Danish pastry

chalk… Notes of green apples and gooseberries in the background as well as shoe polish and motor oil

An interesting wine made in an unusual manner
