KIRSCHGARTEN GG PINOT NOIR 2015
TASTING NOTE
Jancis Robinson, “With four years’ ageing under its belt the Kirschgarten is close to approaching top form, as the fine match between fragrant black cherries and herbal spices testifies. The aromatic performance is completed by a subtle arrangement of roasted and smoky notes. On the palate the fruit is juicy and fresh, expertly supported by filigree minerality and a savoury piquancy which combines the contribution of both herbal and oaky nuances. The tannins have shed their initial austerity and are beginning to integrate into texture and flavour.” Robert Parker, “The 2015 Kirschgarten Spätburgunder GG is pure, fresh and intense on the nose, where red berry and floral aromas are displayed. Silky and playful on the palate, this is a silky, juicy, fresh and finessed Pinot with a filigreed but tight and sustainable structure and a long and aromatic finish. A fabulous wine.”

Spätburgunder “Reserve” 2013
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker ,”Pure, clear and fresh on the nose with precise cherry and cassis aromas, the 2013 Spätburgunder Trocken Reserve is a pure and silky textured Pinot of great intensity, paired with freshness and fine tannins. Provided with good finesse and transparency, this is a very promising Pinot Noir that won’t be in the market before 2018. Very nice grip and juiciness here.”

CUVÉE X 2015
TASTING NOTE
This is Knipser’s flagship red, inspired by classic Bordeaux cuvées, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot in the Médoc style. Cuvée X is matured mostly in new barriques for 18-20 months, this gives a wines with spicy tobacco and cedar aromas and just a touch of cassis. The wine is only released after several years of barrel and bottle aging and the production is very low.

KIRSCHGARTEN GG PINOT NOIR 2011
TASTING NOTE
Jancis Robinson, “Cherry red with plum hue on the rim. The Kirschgarten tends to show a little more muscle than its Knipser stablemates. A pronounced and almost perfumed fragrance of tobacco and sandalwood aromas opens the curtain for a powerful presentation of fruit and oak, expressed in a taste of plums, raspberries, spices and smoky notes. The tannins are still quite assertive and tactile, but there is enough substance of flavour to announce the emergence of a serious contender.”
