Kopp Spätburgunder 2022

A smooth and elegant red wine, precisely suited to the voluptuous hints of Christmas Eve dinner. The aromas of red currant, strawberry, and vanilla are blended by a pleasing acidity, even as the taste is featured by sweet fruit tones and a velvety finish. The addition of clove and cinnamon adds nuance and warmth, during the leathery and earthy flavors provide a satisfying complexity. The wine's tannins are well-balanced, resulting in a smooth and harmonious finish. A perfect pairing for the tagliatelle of scorzonera with wild mushroom and truffle.

Tart raspberry, but not to my liking. A short finish.

Sophisticated and easy going Pinot Noir with a refined cohesion of nuances and a mellow finish. 3.5 stars.\n A pale ruby red color with long legs, displaying the wine's elegant appearance.\n On the nose, the wine presents a detailed perfume of red cherries, red currants, soil, herbs, and traces of caramel.\n The taste is outlined by a medium+ acidity, soft tannins, and a slightly drying finish.\n The wine is medium-bodied, with a concentrated and fruity flavor profile featuring raspberries, sour cherries, soil, white pepper, juniper, and a undertone of caramel.\n The close is long and satisfying, with a return of red fruits and soil.\n Overall, a well-crafted Pinot Noir with a subtle and enjoyable character. 3.5 stars.
