Review:
Fermented on the mash for about six weeks and aged in Assmann barriques for two years (only 5% of which were new), Ziereisen's 2017 Schulen offers an intense, spicy, well-concentrated and slightly toasty bouquet of dark cherries and berries but also reveals nice freshness and purity as well as notes of bloody liver. The wine is still a bit reductive but should open up with aeration. It is silky textured, pure and fresh on the palate, with good concentration, ripe tannins and a tart, fresh finish. This is a juicy, elegant and serious Pinot for every day, even Sundays. 13% alcohol. Tasted from lot L 02 20 in July 2020.

Aged in Assmann barriques for 24 months, the 2016 Schulen offers a pure, fresh, coolish and spicy cherry and dark berry bouquet with just a hint of oak (only 10% of the barrels were new). Wonderfully silky and fresh on the palate, with remarkable finesse and refreshing phenolic grip (six weeks of maceration), this is a straight and stimulatingly edgy and almost peppery Pinot with purity and a refreshing finish. Promising. Tasted from lot L2418 in January 2020.

Review:
From a parcel of stony limestone, this is succulent with juicy cherry flavors. It feels fresh and lively, with a streak of lemon-peel acidity that illuminates the wine’s foresty herbal spice.
