Ziereisen Talrain Blauer Spätburgunder
The single non-local vineyard, Hanspeter is super stoked by the site, which is a half-hour away on the lower hills of the Black Forest, on limestone layered with iron-rich clay, in a strikingly high elevation of almost 2,000 feet.
This was also the first of what would be several instances where I had to insist to Hanspeter that 2016 (or at least his 2016s ) was a superb vintage. Like everyone else, he received them as “light” after the lushness and power of ’15, but that lightness is agreeable, it gives the wines outline and contour, and it reveals hidden depths with air. This freshly bottled wine had all of 12% alc, and is simply beautiful, grasses and flowers and filigree, and the mid-palate swells into lovely richness and length. Here is a superb PN that no Burgundy could possibly approximate!
