Tasting notes
From the oldest, ungrafted vines on the Recher Herrenberg, the 2018 Spätburgunder Alte Reben is very clear, pure and charming on the nose. The palate is silky, fresh and finessed, vital, intense and pure, with a long and tight, remarkably refined finish. Impressive wine. Tasted in August 2020.

Bright cherry colour, medium-depth, ruby rim. A seductive generous fragrance of fruits of the forest is well complemented by the warm scent of Mediterranean herbs and a subtle notion of tobacco. The fruit is ripe, generous and sweet on the palate, complemented by subtle spicy notions, sprinklings of ginger and clove. Supple tannins contribute to a firm structure without scratching. Delicate nuances of tobacco and cigar box enhance a long finish. (MS)
