* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

The wine is rich and ripe, revealing purity of fruit as well as prominent new wood flavors. Otto Rettenmaier, whose cellar is full of wooden cuves named after opera stars, now operates in a biodynamic way and that seems to give an intensity of flavor as well as lusciousness and opulence. Drink from 2010.

Otto Rettenmaier’s estate has succeeded in enticing ripe flavors out of a lightweight vintage. This wine has rich, dry tannins alongside firm flavors of blackcurrants, dark plums and spices. There is balancing acidity which brings out the youthful tannins. There is a fine, lingering aftertaste.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A deep, intense color leads to aromas of black fruits, sweet tannins and spices. Flavors of cranberries, black plums and dark cherries combine with layers of dry wood tannins into a wine that is still just emerging from its chrysalis. It has great, ripe, jammy Merlot flavors alongside the spice of the Cabernet Franc. Give this wine 10 years.
