Tasting notes
The 2019 Spätburgunder Hundsrück GG is intense and spicy on the deep, rich yet also pure and salty nose that is reminiscent of iron-rich soils, iodine, ivy, mint and raw meat. This is incredibly deep, ripe and fruit-intense and as pure as it can be; it's simply great in its easiness and complexity. Full-bodied, lush and round as well as tensile and fresh, this is a highly finessed and tightly structured, close-meshed and dense Pinot of great class and style. Surely one of the finest Pinots made in Germany, and I don't get any oak flavors here like I did when I tasted this at the Wiesbaden GG tasting at the end of August. A phenomenal wine. 13% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2021.

Roasted hazelnuts, red-berry fruit and delicate spicy nuances make up the fragrance of the Hundsrück. On the palate the wine is already very generous in terms of juicy cherry fruit and although tannins are quite assertive they are well embedded in a rich velvety texture. There are very few Spätburgunder wines in Germany, if any, that effortlessly combine power with elegance and sophistication like Fürst’s Hundsrück. (MS)
In spite of the subtle red-fruit aromas, this wine has a dark, earthy and smoky core. Breathtaking combination of serious concentration, major fine tannins and lively acidity that lifts the long, very intense finish beautifully. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
