Rheingau, Germany. Pinot noir. 13%. Screwcap (Stelvin lux). Approx $A40.Suddenly I see why the German's greedily drink all their Spätburgunder. This is a delightful, prim wine. Perfumed and pure it evokes raspberry, cherry liqueur and a hint of earth and stems. Snappy and bright in the mouth, this is refreshing and clean with very fine, minimal tannins. An uncomplicated wine which is full of charm and precision.
Very good.
90.

not Germans, just Barry. How the heck do you get more Spätburgunder in Perth?
Joe and Barry,
This was lovely, as good the next night too. I will try the Becker with some Spätburgunder virgins!
