WTN: Spätburgunder Value

by Barry Fowden » Wed Jul 25, 2007 11:43 am

J. J. Adeneuer
No. 2 Spätburgunder Trocken
Ahr, Germany

The two brothers's took over the vineyard from their aunty in 1984 and since then have gradually improved the quality.
Typical pale colour(Cab & Syrah fans would be shocked)..with light watery rim: lovely...and I mean luvverly..strawberry nose; medium full weight, excellent density, and has good structure...a serious easy drinking wine..try it cool on a warm summer's evening(remember them?)
This is a mid-priced Spätburgunder...
Euros 16 ($ 21)..and it certainly hits above its weight..
sorry you guys overseas..I doubt you can buy this...but
I'll think of you when I open the next bottle :P

Points 17.5 about 91 points in US currency...

Regards

Barry

Sounds good, especially the pale color.

What was the vintage? How long do you age this?

Sounds nice and refreshing for the vintage.
