Franz Keller, Spätburgunder Achkarrener Schlossberg GG 2023

Volcanic. Gorgeous aroma of black cherry and super fine chocolate. Espresso, forest floor and fennel seed intermingle with intensely ripe fruit on the nose. Exotic spices and black cherry fruit carry secondary flavors on the very long finish. Simply stunning Pinot Noir from anywhere in the world.

Scored on a five-star scale, where a plus is a third of a star. How I score and what I disclose is set out in my ethics and disclosure policy. More notes are in the review index, and the regional background is in Wine in Germany.
