Put this against any Pinot Noir from our own shores at the same price and this thing will go toe to toe with it for nine rounds. It's got a depth that we can't manufacture here, and acidity we can only dream of. Welcome to German Pinot Noir AKA Spatburgunder. Johannes Kopp specialises in it and this is a very kind invitation into his world. Ripe black cherry, fresh raspberry, and a bundle of baking spices. This spends nearly 2 years in old oak so complexity well and truly exists here. It's still a hell of a playful wine, it's bright and fresh and if you could chill it if you're that way inclined. Regardless, this is a bang for buck Pinot. Wunderbar!
