Weiler Schlipf Spätburgunder trocken 2005 - Weingut Claus & Susanne Schneider


I opened this bottle yesterday evening. For what you pay (EUR 7.20), you get a very dignified wine that punches above its price category. Very elegant pinot noir aromas, and quite nervy on the palate. Mineral notes and discreet earthy fruit that isn't too "in-your-face". Quite dry, and noticeable acidity without bordering on astringency. Carries its 13.5% alcohol well. Forgive these rather unsystematic tasting notes!
