"Ziereisen's Blauer Spätburgunder a.k.a. Pinot Noir 2019 Talrain offers a pure, fresh, elegant, intense and slightly flinty-scented bouquet of dark sour cherries, black berries, iron and dark meat, then some fine herbal notes later on. Medium-bodied and fresh yet intense and grippy on the youthful palate, this is rather lean and fresh but fleshy and silky-textured Pinot reveals a serious structure built by fine tannins, ripe acidity and stimulating saline finesse that gives a clear, crisp and nicely bitter finish. Not as generous as the 2018 or as impressive as the 2017, the 2019 shows more of the purity, elegance and freshness of the 2016. I tasted the wine again after 11 days, from the same bottle, and it had even improved. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from L 24 21 in June 2022."
